Probably went after his balls because competitors lobbied for it which happens a lot. Same thing happened to Urea-formaldehyde foam insulation. (UFFI) When properly installed there was no problem and in old brick & block homes, could reduce heating and air costs by 2/3.

The fiberglass and spun-glass insulation (junk) competitors high lighted a few cases some of which were customers with allergies, then went national in a concerted campaign against UFFI, it made its way to the CPSC. Even Stewart Stadler (?) comm. at the time felt there would be and pushed for a Consumer Product Safety Standard lost that bid to other commissioners.

This is America, always, always...follow the money.

Amen, my friend.

Standing on principle, holding true to beliefs, or blindly believing in absolutes is strictly for voters.
Politicians want only to be reelected and executives only want their bonuses.
