| To finish the complaint of odi 10436894, you are going to need: a chemical analysis-haz msds been filed at ohsa? - immediate shutdown with chemical safety a part analysis defense has external to the business in the form of first article test-usually the base that just ordered the newest vehicle fleet in the motor pool. this is a subpenoable file external to the business. need the order up number from all receipts at autoliv to get msds that the suppliers file with osha. that's the mix. sample product will be difficult to date as they mark serial #'s with no manufacture date. this usually prompts testing with each order up number change for replacement parts. everything returned to the plant goes out with a new serial number. last year we caught this advertised on e-bay to start your home base business. with the closure of delco, plant returns are going to the second hand part store in people's home. no mention in this new scheme from autoliv that an explosives license and regulatory compliance is necessary external to the vehicle only. meanwhile we refuse to acknowledge this is a chemical and nuclear load in the front seat. we need disposal sites in 50 to keep the returns from going back out to the public. there was a fire suppressant system that was in development that sprays fuel neutralizer in front of the firewall and over the gas tank. we need the current drawing board through bankruptcy never to produce again and the new product start up. we need productio of new door, dash, and steering wheel without the product in it. best of luck, susan kristine | |||
