Asbestos Or Not? You Tell Me!

Hi Folks,
I have some more info about my molded brake linings. They were manufactured by P.T. Brake Lining Co., Inc. of Lawrence MA. I don't think they're around anymore as the label appears quite old!
The edge code reads AFC6FEFC. According to Joel Rapose's chart, FE is asbestos. The rest of the edge code however is a mystery to me. If they do have asbestos in them, is this stuff really that dangerous if proper ventilation/respiration procedures are followed? It's my understanding that the asbestos linings stopped the cars the best. Any feedback is as ususal greatly appreciated.
Regards,
Kevin Daly
