The Poison Control Center was in a local hospital years ago (my bad) there is Poison Control Center listed with a local address and there are more than one Poison Control Centers in the state.
With clean up, removing hazardous materials or possible hazardous equipment according to EPA regulations it is a "license to steal". All contractors who can do this type work are expensive and finding one that is honest can be difficult.
Over the years I have known several used car sales persons who were very honest. I would not hesitate to purchase a used vehicle from them.
The odds that the woman in question got taken are at least 10 to 1 against her if not greater..
Satisfying EPA regulations is a license to steal all too often.
Years ago there were many many poison centers they have consolidated massively.
There are only 57 in the US currently.
