Yes Spirit has been very aggressive with this. We have a union volunteer who experienced a very bad one a few years ago and has made this his mission. He has done an extraordinary job of educating not only our group but is working with many other groups as well.
Look up Dr. Clement Furlong.

I think airlines and manufactures have mostly brushed this issue under the rug. It's bad press. Watch the video I posted in the post above. It's Eric Tillman of Spirit giving a presentation to APA. It's loaded with tons of good info. I'll link again below.

Occasionally someone gets hurt. I wouldn't be overly concerned, except bran damage is permanent. Guys have lost medicals and even died.
