REMOVING ENAMEL COATING
If a product is dangerous, why shouldn't it have warnings?
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. =================================== And (quite rightly)the FDA , EPA and other relevant agencies at Federal and State level will be taking action . In Europe action against dangerous substances is nowadays increasingly taken through legislation by the European Parliament. I welcome that Frank GM0CSZ / KN6WH |
