The reason for the gross mistakes in the research warranting the Fairhall Report is believed to be in the poor planning, and the questionable animal experiments along with the fact that there was a clear ignorance of the more appropriate and applicable human case reports. It took thirty years of the more knowledgeable scientists continually pointing out the blatant mistake of the Fairhall Report before the United States Public Health Service issued a document recanting the original finding of the Fairhall Report. During this thirty year time period, the Fairhall Report was considered valid and exact by the industry and manufacturers because after all, these finding were released by a government agency. So the manufacturers for thirty years or more, believed this report with 'blind faith'. It wasn't for approximately approximately fifteen years that the true hazards and standards for using beryllium were initially established.
