    Any small fibrous material is bad news when inhaled there is lots of
    data on these fibers health risks available at
    http://www.osha.gov/SLTC/syntheticmineralfibers/recognition.html
    Ceramic fibers are listed as probable human carcinogens. So proper
    safety precautions must be taken. 

    However the danger is from airborne fibers that are inhaled so don't
    run out and throw away your kilns because they are made from ceramic
    fiber. Ceramic fiber kilns and such are generally rigidized by a
    binder that keeps the fiber in one place and keeps it from becoming
    airborne.  If you are going to be fabricating items from ceramic
    fibers then you need to learn and take the appropriate safety
    precautions like respirators and proper ventilation and
    housekeeping.
