Jig-A-Loo illegal in California

[Bryan]

Well, as of today, Jig-a-Loo has officially been banned!
Yay~...-_- ---" ->- -,-

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.

no... In a year it will.

Clarified....besides, this is banning the sale of it. Use of it is still legal indefinitely.

Look again, Bryan.

I saw that too but it doesn't make any sense. We can still buy it after 12/31/10, but we can't use it? Ok...

i agree with fanquq...

From Wikipedia's page on Jig-A-Loo:

We've being idiots all along. California is banning the use of perchloroethylene in Jig-A-Loo. Jig-A-Loo will simply remove that one ingredient and replace it with a substitute.
This isn't even a matter about Jig-A-Loo; of course chemicals should be banned when we learn that they are too dangerous. New and better things will be discovered/invented to replace the banned substance.

They're not banning the use or sale of Jig-A-loo itself, but some of the contents in it. The current formula will be used in manufacturing until Dec. 2010 and the remaining on the shelves will be sold until Dec. 2013.
It sounds like They're just changing the contents and keep selling Jig-A-Loo for years to come.

They're banning the use of the perc in it, and until Jig-A-Loo substitutes that ingredient, the use of the lubricant will be illegal. Nowhere does it imply that Jig-A-Loo will substitute perc for anything else. Even so, if Jig-A-Loo wants to still sell in California (as I'm sure the manufacturers want to), they will hve to substitute.

Look again, Bryan.
"Ban the use of""lubricants such as Jig-A-Loo effective Dec. 31, 2010."
"Sale""banned effective Dec. 31, 2013."

Yeah, you're quoting Wikipedia.

(1) Except as provided below in sections 94509(q)(2) and (q)(4), effective December
31, 2010, no person shall sell, supply, offer for sale, or manufacture for use in
California any Carpet/Upholstery Cleaner, Fabric Protectant, Multi-Purpose
Lubricant, Penetrant, Sealant or Caulking Compound, or Spot Remover that
contains any of the following compounds: methylene chloride, perchloroethylene, or
trichloroethylene.

Now you just wait for Chicken Little to scream about how "Supply" means you can loan your can to a friend.

CRC has the same chemicals being banned in it to the best of my knowledge. I'm just stocking up on Jig-A-Loo and CRC for the next few decades or so.

 

[Edmund]

It really is a shame that the things that smell the best are bad for you: white-out, jig-a-loo, wet paint, diesel, sharpie, etc.

Yeah this rule sucks. But be glad someone on the forums found this so he could warn you guys to stock-up.

California

3 more years for californians, hope u guys like CRC

Or private use of jig-a-loo + stock piling it (2 cans) means we can use it all we like.

Hope we continue to like jig-a-loo.

No! You did not just post that without reading more into the thread. I'm pretty sure that's the end of 2010, not the beginning.

 

[PhillipEspinoza]

Haha my bad. I did read the whole thread but for some reason I processed the date as 2009 instead of 2010. Might've been the fact that it was Dec 31 and we were entering 2010 at the time of the post. Threw me off.

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

Why? It's reasonable to ban harmful substances.

Then why doesn't the government ban smoking...? why are cigarettes allowed?
why doesn't the government ban alcohol? im sure you know that when people get drunk...they can do many wrong things....

why doesn't the government think about these things?

Cigarettes: Because there's too much money behind cigarettes.

Alcohol: They tried it during the Prohibition days... Didn't really work out too well...
