B,
A store (any store) can continue to sell what they
have in stock. When a product like malathion is
"pulled" it just means the producer isn't allowed to
make it any more.
And to whoever wanted to know why this marvelous stuff
was yanked: It causes birth defects, brain damage,
nerve damage, kidney damage, deforms genes so your
children are also damaged, and has a loooonnnnggggg
life in the great outdoors so it continues to kill
EVERYTHING for a very long time. In the water supply
(it was used for mosquito control) it kills fish,
frogs, turtles, shore birds, water birds, and the
little boy next door who swam in the pond.
Oh, yeah, then there was the genius who poured the
lice medicine straight onto his kids' heads and killed
a couple of the kids. Great stuff, though-- killed the
lice. Too bad he didn't smoke a cigarette before he
washed his hands...
Anything chemical that can kill an insect can kill
YOU. These chemicals work by shutting down the nerve
centers in an insect's body and you have nerve
centers, too.
If everyone who bought a chemical actually read the
label, it would never be bought again. There are some
VERY scary things out there, kids, and some of them
are even labelled "organic". (Read the Safer Soap
label sometime... wear gloves while you read it.)
Y'all be careful out there...

Do you Yahoo!?
Everyone is raving about the all-new Yahoo! Mail Beta.
It was my understanding that the whole line of organphosphates
were banned, Dursban, Diazinon, Malithion, Methoxychlor, Sevin,
DDT, Chlorodane (sp)

I know malathion has not been banned in Texas for they use it in the mesquito control, one to control the mesquitos and also for the West Nile Virus. It is also sold at most nursuries, the box stores and Wal-Mart. It is sold at 50% solution, so it must just be a few selected states where it is banned.
