James hardies industries , originally founded in Australia packed up and move to the USA as US laws protect US companies from paying compensation to non US citizens
hardies where ordered to deposit 500 million for damages to people but moved to the USA filed , and became a USA company against international law, but ok'd by the obama government james hardies killed 14,000 former employees and their family members with asbestos and a few hundred tradesmen and has thousands dying of misothalimiona they packed up and went to the USA there latest product was announced today its asbestos mixed with sugar and gum that changes the chemistry a little , but enough to say it is no longer asbestos this mix killed people here and it was banned the same as asbestos here but its been rereleased in the USA where thousands of people making and working with the product are exposed it is thought that hardies waited until the obama win to announce it as a major campaign donator and funder and is 100% protected by your laws as your government say hardies dont use asbestos and technically it does not , but still consumes 400,000 tonnes a year in its fibre products division in the USA each year

Jack, I see that this is the same folks that make "hardieboard" but I don't find anything that would have sugar and gum in it.
Did they add the sugar and gum to change the chemical makeup of the product to make it "safe" to sell?Wow, I just realized I just hit 1000 posts. Last edited by bamajoey; 11-08-2012 at 05:06 AM.. |

hardie plank hardies board etc etc etc all the same eh
add some stuff and deny deny deny what ever the gum and sugar ( dextrose) does it changes the readout to say some thing thats not asbestos , they put it out here but when its cut or broken or sanded its just asbestos again and after a while the stuff breaks down anyway especially with UV and its just as deadly .. we banned it so they moved to the US now they aint gonna pay anything to the compensation fund and we cant force them as the patriot act protects US companies from litigation from non US folks i read they are doing a ebay and relocating the company again , to switzerland but manufacturing to sell in the USA in the US as switzerland wont allow their products into the country , but will accept their money |

simple , ITS NOT SAFE, but you can deal with it
wear a mask ALWAYS and eye googles that seal off the eyes ( as asbestos can enter your system that way , the fibres are very fine ) a athsmatic guy i new as a kid worked in the factory and has no issues as thats what he did to avoid all the hassles with what he thought was his dust allergies seems he's the ONLY one who did not get sick and he only used cheap masks and goggles saved by his allergies never trust hardies and what they say , treat all thier products this way Last edited by jack404; 11-08-2012 at 06:48 AM.. |
