Ease restrictions on sale, purchase and possession of Waxed Hexamine Tablets

Closed 538 signatures

What the petition asks

We want the Government to reform restrictions on hexamine to allow for Waxed Hexamine Tablets to be sold in boxes with a maximum quantity of 3 boxes, without the need for any licence.
These tablets are used by some steam toys, and we are concerned about the impact these new restrictions will have on the businesses that manufacture this toys.
