Family demand ban of common paint strippers after son's death

The parents and siblings of a 31-year-old South Carolina businessman who died last year after handling a commonly available paint stripper are now demanding a ban on the toxic chemical methylene chloride.

Drew Wynne was refinishing the floor of a commercial refrigerator at his new cold-brew coffee manufacturing business, Riptide Coffee, on October 13, 2017, when he was overcome by fumes from a paint stripper called Goof Off, which he had purchased at a Lowe’s home improvement store.

Wynne was discovered dead by his business partner the following day.

  6. So you are demanding something banned because of someone using it improperly?? Hmmm sounds a little like gun control mentality to me.

  7. It's always someone else's fault. Never their own.
