Illinois Requires ID to Buy Drano
A new Illinois law requires purchasers of drain cleaners and other caustic and noxious products to provide photo ID and sign a purchase log. Customers are “not very happy about it at all,” said Don Schroeder, who owns a True Value Hardware store in Lombard, Ill. “One of the customers actually threatened the (cashier) and threatened to throw the acid on her.” State Rep. Jack Franks (D-Woodstock) authored the law after two Chicago women were attacked and badly burned by drain cleaner.
