Such substances have been used in the UK as a weapon in several attacks. We believe the general public do not require the access to any substance that can be used as a chemical weapon. Many cleaning products are corrosive enough to be used as a weapon and are sold widely in supermarkets. We believe no household requires such strong cleaning agents. These substances can cause injury and death.
