Ban all corrosive products, only safe products to be manufactured for public use

Rejected 10 signatures

What the petition asks

How many acid attacks happen worldwide before someone finally takes action not just against the criminals but also against the manufacturing process? Three year old having acid thrown at him is beyond evil. Isn’t it time all corrosive products were banned and gentler products were manufactured?

Why it was rejected

It was not clear what the petition asked the UK Government or Parliament to do.

Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action.

We understand that you're concerned about the criminal use of corrosive products, but we're not sure if you'd like to see a blanket ban of all such products, including drain cleaners and bleach.

You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do. For example, you could start a new petition asking the Government to restrict the sale of corrosive products over the counter, if that's what you'd like to happen.
