Re: Long term safety of using plastic reeds?

In Michael Lowenstern's 2012 review of some of the synthetic reeds from some leading brands , he points out that the D'Addario reeds were readily shedding fibers . I don't know if those reeds are still on the market, or what health risks they may constitute or have constituted if any ,but the fact that they made their way onto the market at all suggests rather a lax and cavalier approach to the health and safety standards relating to synthetic reeds in general ......or so it makes me suspect .

Like I said before . It's one thing that a product contains harmful toxins and another thing to prove in court that a health issue derives specifically from exposure to that product ,rather than other possible sources of exposure to the toxin .This fact is no doubt often a consideration in the criteria applied when companies decide to launch a product, or at least there exist numerous examples that suggest that this has indeed been the case .

So to be somewhat distrustful is probably to be a realist .

Capitalism tends to be a gristmill whenever it can get away with it .
