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.

    I’m torn as to whether to agree with you or not. On the one hand, people who aren’t taking the time to parse the headline are certainly getting worked up. On the other hand, the headline accurately represents the ban in that the current formulation of WD-40 will be banned in aerosol form. If they want to sell that formulation in plain cans or Non-aerosol spray bottles, they are free to do so.

      It’s the Western Standard, so of COURSE it’s a bullshit sensationalist headline. That’s what they do; and that’s ALL they do.

      They’re a right-wing lapdog publication.

      Wd-40 has more than one aerosol product, others already meet the standards, so the headline is just plain false right off the bat.

      Adding even non-compliant to the headline would go a long way and basically fox everyone of your concerns.
