Need to buy a brace of rubber bumpered MG's I feel

Hexavalent chromium compounds are vicious . The least of their ill effects are that they cause perforation of the nasal septum, so that you can whistle simply by breathing in and out. They also caused a vast excess risk of lung cancer amongst workers exposed to them . Whether this was additive to the risk caused by smoking, or multiplicative of it , was a matter of much debate and was never really settled. Although chrome looks nice, I am not sure that the price was worth paying, and in fact stainless steel is just as good to look at, and in the end is more durable

I am reminded of the Eurosausage.

Given the ubiquity of chrome plating I suspect that this is unlikely. More likely is another layer of bureaucracy to "monitor" businesses, with associated fees.

It'll just chase the plating industry to a less-regulated place. This happened over here, when California clamped down on these guys. They just picked up and moved to other states.

Thats not so easy over here in Europe. And we dont have Erin Brockovitch here either
