I don't think it was a problem so much with it's sale, I don't /think/ it
even comes under any aspect of the poisons regulations. I think it was
tied up with safety legislation. Possibly to do with storage and I don't
think it was something he needed for himself so he decided not to keep it.

Could even have been tied up with liability towards a customer if they did
something silly, it's too long ago for me to remember exactly what he said.

It was probably around the time all the COSHH (control of substances
hazardous to health) legislation was introduced.
