Here's a good warning that's doing the rounds on car forums:

What amazes me is that the guy quickly found out that he nearly killed himself and that there could be life threatening follow up problems but duidn't go to hospital for 9 days

I thought they banned carbon tet years ago. Seems not, handy warning

Probably not in America, maybe it's in the constitution.

I also thin it's been banned in UK - however like most things that get banned, I know people who still have some!

When cleaning fluids get banned it's cheaper for companies to let their empolyees nick the stock for home use than it was to have it legally disposed of - loads of it went into private hands.
