So basically this woman's 31 year-old son was using aircraft stripper on a bicycle inside a bathroom and the fumes killed him. Now they want to ban aircraft stripper.

I don't mean to sound unsympathetic, but seriously? It's not a reason to get rid of a useful product because someone was stupid with it. Any moron who can read the directions on the container can read the part where it tells you not to use it anywhere without adequate ventilation, i.e. a bathroom.

"His passion in life was BMX biking."

But Joshua's passion cost him his life.



What kind of retarded "reporting" is that? I guess we know why mommy's little snowflake never grew up. At 31 I had a little more grown up stuff going on than huffing paint in my mommy's basement while dreaming of being the worlds oldest X-games champion. 3:1 odds he was discovered while she was delivering a plate of Hot Pockets and some Sunny D.

Another article covering the same story-

https://www.alleghenyfront.org/mother-works-to-ban-the-chemical-that-killed-her-son/

“He ate organic foods,” she says. ”He always stretched and did yoga, exercises, and was very outdoorsy.”

Apparently eating organic foods and doing yoga isn't enough to counteract the effects of huffing paint stripper.

Another quote from that article-

"Joshua was a snowboarder, a climber, and most of all, he loved freestyle BMX biking. His mom says after he discovered BMX in second grade, the bike became like his third leg"

The bike became like his what?

So the really strong fumes, watering eyes, dizziness, nausea, etc weren't good enough warning signs for junior to seek better ventilation??

I'm going to guess this wasn't the first time he was "stripping" in the basement. 31 is old enough to know better. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

Sue the schools cause they didn't teach him how to read. I was taught from an early age to understand & respect the hazards of what we use with car work. Who in the hell is dumb enough to do that in the bathroom. Didn't he notice how little ventilation a bathroom has after dropping a deuce?
