Innovative stone had a ton of liability over the radon/granite issues. Home Depot had to pay off one homeowner already for contracting lung cancer due to a very high radon producing stone.
And Silestone has been in talks with both the big box stores, wanting to get their Sensa natural granite line in their stores. Pre tested for radon and radiation.
This is more about chopping off a source of major liablity than anything else. Once H.D. started pulling the Innovated Stone slabs on display at their stores and yanking the sample racks, Innovated Stone found their credit yanked.
Kevin, a few years ago they published cancer rates and radon pressure by each US county.
What I will now tell you is true. The HIGHER the radon the LOWER the cancer. True, but no one knows why.
