Banned in Catalina: Anybody know why this product isn't for sale in Catalina Island?

Maybe the battery contains LEAADD! The greenies probably think that is BAAAAADDD. Should have a solar jump starter or a crank instead. Besides which, the roads on Catalina are so few and short and limited that it does not even matter. The tow truck/jump start guy there is probably a cousin of whoever proposed this idiot law.

I thought I was the only one! It will not let me buy it and I cannot see anywhere that there is a restriction to California. Strange.

I've heard nothing of the sort. That doesn't mean anything, though, since California has too many stringent rules and I can't keep up with all of them. I've use this product for several years without issue, but that's just me. I think it's worth trying, but you'll have to use your best judgment. What is the chemical that you're concerned about?

Was the vacuum discontinued? I just clicked on the page and it is still for sale.

Some states require Prop 65 warnings on basically everything. I'm assuming this company is based in CA, since that's where these warnings are most prevalent. You might notice it on buildings, too. This isn't condemnation of the product - it's a fact of life in CA.

I am not a seller of this product but I do know it is discontinued so it is probably an issue of supply and demand.

Hi, I ran into the same thing. Amazon kept telling me that I couldn't order the product because I live in California, so I just went to one of the alternate sellers listed on the page. They shipped it, no problem. I don't want to mention their name and risk getting them in trouble; suffice it to say, not every seller is as strict as Amazon. Good luck!

I cancelled my order after reading the Prop 65 warning and today I just saw this update. Thanks for the update. If Amazon is in error they should go ahead and remove the warning. Its confusing the customers.

Sorry we missed this one! Sometimes Amazon notifies us with a question and sometimes they don't. In any case, another customer just brought this to our attention. We got an endorsement when we first developed this product back in 2007 and didn't realize we needed to update that on the site.. probably since the new FDA mandates went into effect in 2013. We are currently under review again and expect to be listed on the site at SkinDeep in the near future! We never put this on the bottles since there is so little room as it is.. :) Thanks, Deb @ Teva Skin

I contacted the company and they say "no." It is hard as the devil to find though--tried in Fort Myers, western PA, Fredericksburg, VA and other places I have contact with--can't continue to be sold if they don't stock it!! Fortunately, Amazon says it will be offered there in a few days!

I've been trying to reorder since December as well - I contacted the company and they said the were "working on getting them back in stock at amazon" with no estimate as to when that would happen. I found the refills on another website at a higher price, and it won't allow me to purchase it because they won't ship the product to California. I'm guessing it has something to do with the plastic bag ban that was passed, but this is very frustrating and rendering a product I bought relatively recently useless.

it is illegal in california because it uses a pyrotechnic charge to propel the liquid.i did not know this until i had purchased it,retailers will still ship to ca. in most cases.

Why didn't I read this before I bought them this morning? Yep, I live in a state where they are illegal! So what do I do now? Tie them to my wrist so they don't go anywhere? I agree that if a product could have a ban it should be stated!

Arshad, It's a restricted use product meaning it's not for sale to individuals unless you're a certified pest control operator. This isn't for all states; just a couple like NY and CT. To confirm what I'm saying, you can contact your local DEC office and ask. You can also go to their website and retrieve the .pdf they keep on line of every registered product for the state. On that list they include if the product is restricted or not and when you look this one up, you'll see it's listed as restricted. Now I also know there are other merchants who don't seem to care taking the chance of selling this item into your state so try buying it from one of them. I'm sure the state of New York will eventually crack down on this practice (and their fines are steep) and when this happens, it will get tougher and tougher to find items like this. But right now if you look hard enough, you should be able to find someone willing to sell some to you.

Who is restricitng? I have no information on restrictions at this time. The product was originally developed in CA and grew out of that market area.

I live on Kauai, Hawaii and it won't let me ship this to my house. Is there a reason?
