VERBATIM: The chemical is known as TCE. It’s used in a range of consumer products, including automobile brake cleaners, furniture care products and arts and crafts spray coating. The EPA wants to ban manufacturing, processing and distributing the chemical within a year. The EPA has found TCE causes liver cancer, kidney cancer and non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma. It can also damage the central nervous system, liver, kidneys and immune system.
