Paint stripper
#19

You could also kill yourself using acetone, lacquer thinner, or MEKP, to strip cabinets, not only because of the fumes, but with the right air/solvent mixture you can blow yourself to the moon, or burn your house down. Almost everything can be a hazard if you are careless, or foolish. At least methylene chloride stripper doesn't burn, which is interesting since it has acetone in it I think.
 As for taking products off the market I had a devil of a time finding products containing phosphoric acid for a few years, which makes a great rust inhibitor, CLR used to contain it, another similar product called Removall is no longer on the market (shame about that it's better then navel jelly). I never did find out the reason, whether it was a half baked environmental thing because the name is similar to phosphates which they banned from soap, or because they thought it was similar to phosphorus used in incendiary devices as well as some matches, I don't know. In any event I found a cheap source of it in a cleaning product called "Safe Acid Cleaner", so I have been using that on bare steel and iron to prevent rust.
Regards
Arran
