That's because nobody knew how dangerous it was back then. I'm 67 and when I
read all the cautions today I wonder how the hell I survived!!! I ( used
to) smoke, drink, take aspirin, use a straight razor, and all numbers of
things that are either warned against or legislated against today.

Times sure have changed and not necessarily for the better in some cases

Peanut oil was allowed in a school? No rules about peanut related
products?
Aside from the fact that the stuff is absolutely lethal to a human with
a peanut allergy, the finish does look great.
