So typical. We bought it, it isn't expired, so we are going to keep using it. This will be the next Asbestos. For those in the Colorado Springs area, please be careful with the water. This seems like nasty stuff. COL Mikel J. Burroughs

PO3 Steven Sherrill Wow, that is close to home hewre in Castle Rock, CO. Let's hope they get a handle on this ASAP. I live North, so the water flow seems to be traveling South of Colorado Springs. Still a bad situation!

I did not see anything about the availability of a substitute foam in the article. There are many bad things you use because it is all you got. Google trichloroethelene (TCE)
