I found this article of particular interest because in September I
received a bubble mailer with 2 hundred gram bottles of sodium azide
in my mailbox sent by USPS to me from someone in the general public
asking that I, "use or dispose of safely".å Fortunately for me, and
the postal workers, the bottles were not damaged in mailing.å
I am currently working with the USPI and the Homeland Security
Coordinator for the state to track down the sender.å This
interesting part of this story is that the chemicals were purchased
on AMAZON
(https://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss_2?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=sodium+azide)
from a company called HiMedia - the same as the bottle shown in the
listserve article.å These are bottles clearly marked, "For sale in
India only"
The chemical mailed to me was in what appears to be the original
AMAZON mailer and so it appears they are shipping this chemical with
no protection or placards. I am dumbfounded that Amazon can sell
this chemical and ship without warning.
