<\/a><\/p>\nAccording to this can of bathroom cleaner:<\/p>\n
It is a violation of Federal law to use this product in a manner inconsistent with its labeling.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
And:<\/p>\n
1. Spray 6-8 inches from surface to be cleaned.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
I am pretty sure that I sprayed from under 6 inches away from a toilet and maybe more than 8 inches, say 8.034 inches, away from the basin.<\/p>\n
According to this can, I have violated Federal law several times today.<\/p>\n
Now, I know the can is no attorney, but come on, it’s easy to imagine that such a law exists that makes it an actual crime to just let the product sit on a heavily soiled surface for only one minute just because the law says do what the instructions tell you.<\/p>\n
Because some regulator or set of legislators saw the problem (what, people huffing aerosols? Using bathroom cleaners on ovens?) and passed\/made some burden to put the fear of the Federal Bureau of Investigation into consumers who read the packaging.<\/p>\n
Another Federal law that goes unenforced. Unless the prosecutors can’t hang someone for a real crime, and Al Capone goes to prison in the 21st century for consumer-grade solvent misuse.<\/p>\n
Sad, isn’t it?<\/p>\n
