Well I'll be damned! I was about to extoll the virtues of the PBR/Axxis Deluxe pads that I've been using on my vehicles lately when I saw the asbestos note. The box doesn't say that but has multiple warnings about the "hazardous substance that can cause lung damage" contained within. See the MSDS for more info, naturally not included. I didn't think asbestos pads could even be sold anymore. The risk of mesothelioma or asbestosis merits a clearer and stronger warning than that.
