Not sure how this is good news for chemical companies, as asbestos litigation is the longest, most expensive mass legal liability in the history of the USA.
Unfortunately you can't rely on the possibility of lawsuit to keep industry in line. "If there's a profit to be made today, then damn tomorrow" has been proven time and again. That said, any company that adds asbestos to a building product has to have its head examined, since if word gets out sales would tank.
