I guess it doesn't hurt to pull it out, albeit they put it there for some reason. Anyway, asbestos is completely harmless unless made what the E.P.A. calls "friable." To us that means ground on in some way to make it airborne. An example would be the many homes (like mine) that have asbestos siding. Not a problem. Even superior to modern replacement siding material. Unfortunately, I had some chucklehead contractor send "the boys" in to install a window that was the wrong size. To make it the right size the ground my siding with their circular saw WITH the old window out!!
I guess it could be a lawsuit, but who has the time? Most health hazards from what I have read are related to long term exposure anyway. Hope so
