Aren't these illegal to buy, sell, or import in the United States (under the so-called "Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007")?

Hello, They are illegal to manufacture and import, but existing inventories can be sold.

If the unit does not specify that it is CA legal, then it's not and cannot be shipped into CA. Stage 1 AFE products are usually CA legal.

If you buy it from a dealer in China, they will ship it to California. But, it is illegal, of course.

It's not legal in California. They CARB is California's rule makers. So non issue if you don't live there.

Depends on the vendor. I would suggest checking the vendors notes under the "Other buying options" link for the product because that will tell you if the vendor is in the US or international.

There are federal AND state laws regulating distillation... Federal law states that it's legal to own a still of ANY SIZE, but it's illegal to distill alcohol without having either a "distilled spirits permit" or a "federal fuel alcohol permit.

In 2000, the EPA adopted a Californian law that set special requirements to make gas cans "safer" and applied it federally. Once this came into place, it became illegal to sell a canister to store fuel that did not have: -A single, self venting opening for filling and pouring with no separate vents or openings -A treated can body for minimal permeation of fuels -Automatic closure, meaning a nozzle which automatically springs to the closed position when not pouring -Childproof features as designated by the Children's Gasoline Burn Prevention Act So even though these are the same cans that people around the world have been using for over a 100 years to store, and this company sells these exact cans internationally (including NATO) to store gasoline safely; you can not purchase one in the United States if you plan on storing fuel in it. This is why it's being sold as a water container. Instead you should be looking at the new, "better", "safer" cans that cause you to spill gasoline all over the place and yourself and tend to pose a real hazard of exploding.

I haven't tested it but the company who sells them is based in the US and has been doing business for many years. We haven't had any problems with it. Hope that helps!

I assume so since the company is in the USA. I haven't had a problem with them.

I've had them for a while. Have had no problems except they don't always last as long as they say. Never noticed the "not for use in USA".

It is not restricted to sale just in the United States. It is that we do not ship outside of the US.

Illegal? I don't think so. They are a copycat of magnatiles. We have both brands and have no issues with either one or with compatability. We love these and would purchase this brand again in the future.

They are illegal to operate on any road in the US (State and Federal law) or any European nation. It will blind other drivers. They do not meet SAE, ECE, or DOT safety regulations nor are they marked as such. Do not use them in any capacity other than as work lights, they are not bright enough or have a good pattern for high or low beams and would be a waste. I use them to optionally illuminate as I back up and they do not come on automatically. Only use them manually.

The environmental laws in the State of NY make it illegal to sell, ship, possess or use this product. Buy Wholesale Cheap cancels every order shipping to restricted states.

I really don't know. California is pretty strict on most things. I do know they have been used in Europ for many years and I have had good luck with them so far in the installations I have done in my home in Virginia.

I don't why they wouldn't be safe. The use less power and generate less heat than a conventional incandescent equivalent.

Dave, You will need to check with local law enforcement in your state to determine if there is any law which would prohibit the use of this item.
