This is a little off topic, but I know some of you have aquired
chemicals from Firefox or one of the other companies selling fireworks
supplies.
The
Details of CPSC Injunction against Firefox
The CPSC Injunction against Firefox would require them to:
"Not sell, give away, or otherwise distribute any chlorate compound,
magnesium metal, permanganate compound, peroxide compound, zirconium
metal, or any chemical listed at 16 C.F.R. § 1507.2 to any recipient
who does not possess a valid manufacturing license for explosives
issued by the ATF;
Not sell, give away or otherwise distribute any of the following
chemicals for which the particle size is finer than 100 mesh (or
particles less than 150 microns in size) to any recipient who does not
possess a valid manufacturing license for explosives issued by the
ATF: aluminum and aluminum alloys, magnalium metal, magnesium/aluminum
alloys, titanium and titanium alloys, or zinc metal;
Not sell, give away or otherwise distribute any of the following
chemicals in an amount greater than one pound per year per recipient
to any recipient who does not possess a valid manufacturing license
for explosives issued by the ATF: antimony and antimony compounds,
benzoate compounds, nitrate compounds, perchlorate compounds,
salicylate compounds or sulfur;
Not sell, give away or otherwise distribute any fuse in an amount
greater than 25 feet per year per recipient who does not possess a
valid manufacturing license for explosives issued by the ATF."
In addition, the injunction requires extensive record keeping
(photocopies of drivers licenses and, if applicable, ATF licenses for
all recipients, as well as detailed invoices maintained for at least
seven years) and requires Firefox's agreement to provide those records
to CPSC at any time on demand.
