Industry wins correction for recent flawed radon television coverage
The Marble Institute of America has obtained a correction from a daytime talk show that ran an alarmist, one-sided segment on granite countertops and radon/radiation.
The syndicated show "The Doctors," aired the inaccurate segment on October 24th. The show announcer even made the false claim that "the EPA (United States Environmental Protection Agency) says that some stone presents the same health risks as smoking a half pack of cigarettes per day." Since the airing, the MIA legal team has been diligent in working with lawyers from CBS Television Distribution to correct the inaccuracy.
