Particularly when there are known carcinogens and other health hazards involved? It's not being a "do-gooder" or "doing too much" to discover hazards and eliminate or contain them. Sure, not everyone who uses Strip-X will get cancer. But some of the components of it are known carcinogens, and a proven hazard. More important, we can't know ahead of time who the susceptible folks are. Naaa, it's the people who think they should be rewarded for stupidity and basic capitalism that took all that stuff off the market. *Some idiot did something stupid with the product and decided to sue. *The company looked at a long legal fight or settlement and settled. Maybe. But I doubt it. More likely, they looked at the *possibility* of such a lawsuit, the scientific evidence of the hazards of the ingredients, the limited profit and declining sales, and just stopped making the product. Once a chemical is shown to be dangerous, the manufacturers can't claim ignorance anymore. They...decided it would be more profitable to eliminate the product and concentrate on other things as they're not in the business to keep consumers satisfied, just get their money and keep as much of it as possible. Profitability is what "capitalism" and "business" are all about. Without profitability, a capitalist company just disappears. Since the formula for Strip-X appears to be in the public domain, anybody can make it and sell it. Would *you* be willing to set up shop to make it and sell it, with all the risks that entails, and the very limited market for it? 73 de Jim, N2EY |
