Well, this is it. Jig-A-Loo will be banned in California effective of December 31, 2010 due to the perchloroethylene and methylene chloride in it.

From Wikipedia's page on Jig-A-Loo:
For environmental and health safety reasons, the State of California will ban the use of perchloroethylene and methylene chloride in multi-purpose lubricants such as Jig-A-Loo effective Dec 31, 2010 and the sale of remaining inventory will be banned effective Dec 31, 2013.

From the April 2005 handbook:
The California Air Pollution Control Officers Association (CAPCOA) is developing Industry-wide Risk Assessment Guidelines for Perchloroethylene Dry Cleaners which, when published, will provide detailed information on public health risk from exposure to emissions from this source.

And here's a link to the current table of banned consumer products containing perchloroethylene, methylene chloride, and trichloroethylene:

Just a notice.
 
I told you this.

It's because of how it causes Cancer. Perch is really bad for you if you inhale large amounts of it. Lubricating a cube isn't bad if you're outside, but it's bad if you stuff the straw up your nose and spray.

In short: Switch to RC lubricant/Shock Oil.
 
Yes, Jig-A-Loo is bad for you if you inhale it. :p

I kinda understand this, but I think the government went a bit too far there..

It has Bold+Caps letters on the bottom of the can that says:

KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN.
HARMFUL OR FATAL IF INHALED IN LARGE QUANTITIES.

So, yeah.
 
But but but jig-a-loo smells so sweet~
Reminiscent of bakeries or sweet candy!

Hey hey, did you know melting v cubes releases the scent of marshmallows?! :D :D :D

I'm kidding, of course, but melting v-cubes, and jig-a-loo actually do smell like that.
 
Poor Chris Bird... It is his favorite brand! (correct me if I'm wrong.)

I have a question about different lubes.

Since Jig-A-Loo will soon be illegal in my state, I heard that RC Shock Oil is a good alternative to Silicone Spray.

Does anyone know how it makes cubes feel?

If you have ever lubed a cube with Vaseline, it's kind of like that. It feels pretty good in my own opinion, however it's not something you want to get carried away with.
