Retailer Implements New Policy in North Carolina
Via WFMY News 2 in North Carolina:
The article discusses how Office Depot has implemented a policy of not selling computer dusters to anyone less than 18 years of age.
The store manager states, "What we started realizing is people were taking advantage of some of those instruments negatively. We wanted to make sure it was actually used for what it was supposed to be used for.”

A Weak Attempt to Conceal Duster
From the Northwest Florida Daily News:
A 23-year old driver was arrested after a huffing related crash. He was taken to the hospital and charged with inhalation of harmful chemical substances.
The police report states that when the driver's sister “opened the passenger side door, the officer saw the driver remove an aerosol can from his facial area and try to hide it under his shoes." The officer noted that the product was “Office Depot Dust Cleanser” and that the driver had been “inhaling the contents of the can, which explained his erratic behavior.”

Woman Found Huffing in Store Restroom
From 620 WTMJ and BrookfieldNow.com in Wisconsin:
On June 16th, a 46-year old woman purchased two cans of compressed gas at an Office Max. “She then went to the store's restroom, where she stayed for more than an hour. When employees entered the bathroom to check up on the woman, she was lying on the floor and incoherent.”
“Employees called police, and the woman was taken to the hospital where she was medically cleared. She then was taken to the Sheriff's Department, where she was processed on a state count of disorderly conduct and released.”
Help us in reaching out to the radio station linked above to clear up the misperception that this product is "just air." All too often this misperception leads many children and adults to huff the product, thinking it cannot be dangerous since it is "just air." It is not air. The product contains chemicals that the individuals are introducing into their bodies.
Therefore, please help us in our efforts to change this misperception- or send suggestions on how we can get this preventative message out to even more communities.
