I would like to make others aware that Rustoleum Paint Products that contain Hydrous Magnesium Silicate (TALC) recently have had the warning, "Constituents may also contain asbestiform or non-asbestiform tremolite", added to their Safety Data Sheets. After repeated attempts over several months to their support department to understand what "asbestiform and non-asbestiform tremolite" means, I was given a PR response indicating they have no control from their supplier to providing "asbestiform free" raw materials. Again repeatedly asking them to define "Asbestiform", I finally received an answer that they will not provide any further support or definition to what "asbestiform or non-asbestiform tremolite" is. By assumption, Asbestiform typically means Asbestos. In this case, "TREMOLITE ASBESTOS". Rustoleum is potentially selling you an incredibly lethal form of Asbestos in their products. I would stay clear from any paint from this company or others that contain Talc in their paints. Unfortunately, I sanded their product many years ago to make a smooth surface for a final coat of paint in my sons bedroom. They advertise many of the products they sell, including the one I used, as sand-able. I am incredibly worried about our families safety now.The poor support, lack of care for assuring safety of their customers and continued avoidance of my question is incredibly discouraging.
