If Hoppe’s is really dangerous a lot of us would be dead by now!
Absolutely! Even the Old Stuff with nitrobenzene never offed anyone. Kerosine, alcohol, ammonia, oleic acid, amyl acetate.
But to OSHA it’s a toxic workplace chemical, very flammable, makes you sick if you drink it, wrecks your eyes if you splash them.

I see a range like a living room, OSHA sees just another workplace to regulate. And a range IS a workplace, so it’s OSHA we need to change, not the ranges.

Here’s another Hoppes product, this one with methanol so it gets a Poison label. It smells nice, but I’d never drink it. Methanol will go through the skin.
