I folks, just received my very first order for chemicals this year, and they are not GHS Friendly. So I am sending them back.

I too have received chemicals with non-GHS labels, so I did a bit of a search.
Said chemicals are still allowed to be sold since they're in the supply chain.

I have just ordered chemicals, I have added to the order "please ensure you provide your chemicals with the new GHS label format and Safety Data Sheets". It will be interesting what I receive.
