j-- -,~jwas a great man and he died because of people like you, pushing poison to consumers. All for what? Protecting the interests of big chemical companies. Your supposed to protect people, not scam the American public in the name of profit.
I will never quit, my passion is deeper and my heart is bigger.
Have a nice weekend.

What are you going to do about it? I just found out about another death. A young man working in California fell dead from exposure to this crap that you protect. At some point when you look in the mirror you will see the faces of these people that you failed to protect all because of a profit. I believe that we all have some inherent good, it's not to late to get on the right side of history. It's not too late to do the right thing, step out and ban methylene chloride. These deaths are preventable and the only way to do that is banning consumer sales.
Drew brought a lot to this world. He dared to branch out and start a small business (which was thriving). He made nitro tapped cold brew coffee and he died working on his business.
This is a picture ofI-- iat a wedding in September. One month after this picture he died.

Not only can Methylene Chloride kill you instantly, long-term exposure can cause cancer. Lung cancer, liver cancer, breast cancer. Even concentrations below applicable occupational exposure limits, may increase the risk of cancer.

This is so bad that the DOD won't even use it (and they invented it).
Do the right thing. Below is a picture of my brother with my son. Have you ever had to explain heaven to a 3 year old? I hope you never have to experience that.
Have a nice day.

My brother died from exposure to Methylene Chloride fumes, details are below. I'd like to hear what the EPA is going to do about it. Here is a picture of Drew making coffee, he bought a "goof o ff product from Lowe's which had a high concentration of Methylene Chloride. The next day he was found laying in a pool of blood, dead.
The word is spreading, your inaction is unacceptable.

Ana and Doug are tracking this, I thought you should as well. My brother died do to exposure from a chemical that you protect "Methylene Chloride". They say that Methylene chloride is a one-two punch when fumes accumulate, well that is 100% correct. My brother slumped over, no longer breathing, because the respiratory centers of his brain switched off and the chemical turned into Carbon Monoxide in his body which also starved his heart of oxygen. He was found dead on a cold floor surrounded by a puddle of blood (from falling over). You should know that his level of exposure was so high that we couldn't donate his organs and that they had to wear respirators during his autopsy.
There is no reason to shelf the NMP rule and there is no need for "long term action". The chemical kills, there are alternatives available. Have a soul and prevent this from happening again. If you care, read the details below.

Hello Douglas,
My name is Brian Wynne, I am writing to follow up on a message sent to you by a family friend of ours Margaret Valachovic. It was my brother IEx. 6Personal Privacy (PP) j)who died from Methylene Chloride toxic fumes. To help clarify and remove the "alleged" from the subject "Death from Goof Off Product", I thought I would go ahead and share the cause of death as determined by the Charleston Co. Coroner (autopsy conducted on 10/16/17 at 12:45pm). Sidebar the autopsy was delayed to to a need to decontaminate my brothers body. Below is a link to his obituary and after that is the COD from the coroner.
j._,,.]was a 31 yr old small business owner that died working hour number 59 of his regular (70'Tiour week. He was found a day after he died and it took the Hazmat team 2 hrs to recover his body from the building. The fumes were so strong that chemical detectors were having positive hits outside of the facility. I can go on into specific details (blood, smell, cleanup) but it wouldn't be worth it.
He bought poorly labeled poison and was sold an inadequate breathing apparatus at Lowes. He was blissfully unaware of the danger he faced when he walked out of that store and started working at his coffee plant.

"In light o f historical information and the toxicological, gross and microscopic autopsy findings, it is in the opinion o f the pathologist that the decedent died as the result of acute dichloromethane and methanol toxicity. Furthermore, the manner of death is best deemed accident. "
Toxic Fumes (paint thinner/methylene chloride/methanol exposure).
Acute dichloromethane and methanol toxicity
Peripheral blood toxicology: dichloromethane = 77 mcg/ml, methanol = 25 mg/dl * History of exposure to paint thinner fumes in a poorly ventilated enclosed space
Attached is a picture o f the paint thinner aisle at Lowe's. Can you find the product that kills more effectively than the department of corrections?
Everything on the left side o f the shelf will kill you, nothing on the right will save you. I'm not interested in debating EPA positions, I'm following up to provide the additional details that were requested.
V/R,
Brian Wynne
