Here is an email sent to me today that might be of interest particularly for those with young children.
I have blacked out sections to make me feel comfortable about posting this WARNING. But its apparently doing the rounds at some schools around the country.

Well whaddayaknow,

Unlike many "warning" emails this one is plausible!

Snopes.com confirms it. I'm not linking to the article due to similar concerns that Gizmo had. You can find it if you put in the effort.

Clearly fake!

This is what a real BHPB safety notice looks like:

we used to make these as kids. definetly not for unsuspecting people to pick up and loose limbs. ingrediants are very common and simple. would blow up very thick glass bottles. great fun untill some of that boiling hot liquid covered me....BURN.. wow kids can be dumb.

Dihydrogen Monoxide. It's known to be extremely toxic. If enough is ingested it can be fatal.

It is dangerous if not used in a safe way! I know it I am in contact with it every days of the week, I have been sprayed and submerged in it....... when cold or too hot it gives you bad sensations, the worst thing about it is that it is freely available! Stay away from the yellow one .... if it is not fizzy it is badly contaminated and is then called Ammonia Uric Dehydrogenize Acid!

Let's just hope it doesn't get into our drinking water...
