Draft:Corrosion Proof Fittings v. EPA

Corrosion Proof Fitting vs. EPA was a 1991 Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals case in which the court ruled that much of the EPA's Asbestos Ban and Phase Out Rule (ABPO) was unlawful, finding that while the EPA established the carcinogenicity and danger of asbestos, in the absence of a cost-benefit analysis they did not determine it presented an "unreasonable" risk.
