Membership

One of the most effective ways to support our cause is to become a member of our organization.  They say there's power in numbers.  The more members we represent, the more likely we are to be heard when attempting to have laws and regulations put in place to help protect the general public and the environment from the hazardous and potentially lethal refrigerant.  To become a member of our ever growing organization, please complete and submit our membership application.

 

Locking Refrigerant Caps

 

Refrigerant "may cause death without warning!"  Be proactive, not reactive.  Contact your AC service provider today and request locking caps be installed on your AC unit.  Your kids may not tamper with the refrigerant in it, but there's guarantee others won't.  Do not maintain an attractive nuisance, protect yourself today.

 

AC Manufacturers

 

The design of most existing AC units leave the dangerous and potentially lethal refrigerant easily accessible.  It is imperative that we pressure AC manufacturers to include tamper resistant locking refrigerant caps in the design of their units.  Please contact as many AC manufacturers as you can and urge them to include these life saving caps on their units.  A list of AC manufacturers is available here.   

 

Consumer Product Safety Commission

 

The existing design of most AC units is obviously flawed in that it allows easy venting of refrigerant through external filling valves.  This is extremely hazardous and must be immediately corrected.  As consumers of these products, you have the right to report such hazards to the Consumer Product Safety Commission.  We implore you to report this hazard to the CPSC by filling out their online form at https://www.cpsc.gov/cgibin/incident.aspx.

 

Internet Scrubbing

 

Children learn a lot of bad habits from the internet, including how to huff refrigerant.  Please join us in our efforts to rid the internet of media which glorifies huffing and/or provides instructions on how to huff refrigerant.  Many videos have already been removed from file sharing websites, but new ones pop up almost as quickly as we get them removed.  Please help us scour these file sharing sites and report any  inappropriate materials to the provider.  A list of user generated file sharing websites are listed here.
