But soon it will be banned in Canada in aerosol spray form, amongst other products, to save the environment.

Almost every Canadian has a spray can of WD-40 in the garage, but that’s about to change.

You use it to fix just about anything that needs a little lubrication, squeaky hinges, rusty bolts and even your bike chain.

Update: Thanks to @Sbhinclusion for sharing this press release from WD-40, which states that they will become compliant with th new regulation.

We already played this game in the 80s, when hair spray was supposedly causing the hole in the ozone layer. Look where it got us.

I don’t understand this. Where did it get us?

With a fixed hole in the ozone layer…so not sure what their point is lol.

Guess we got no hair spray?

Their logic is the same as “cigarettes are fine because other things cause lung cancer too”. Guess they would rather see everything banned all at once or nothing at all.
