No. The U.S. is one of the few major industrialized nations without an asbestos ban in place, though it is highly regulated. The EPA banned most asbestos-containing products in the U.S. in 1989. However, the rule was vacated in 1991 which overturned bans on the manufacture, importation, processing, and distribution in commerce. Only the bans on corrugated paper, roll board, commercial paper, specialty paper, and flooring felt remained under the 1989 rule. While the production and use of asbestos has significantly declined, most asbestos-containing products can still be legally manufactured, imported, processed, and distributed in the U.S.
