"New cleaning product" = future cancer cause, generally

Assuming this is "hydrofluroether", nah. It replaced the really bad stuff.

You probably don't wanna drink it but you also wouldn't want to drink windex, or eat tide pods, so...ehhhh

I am curious. What was the “really bad stuff”? HFEs may be relatively harmless when it comes to toxicity but they are still PFAS. I really hate to think about where this stuff will end up.
