Info for the book on carbofuran poisoning

Hello,

I am several days away from completion/submission the book on carbofuran poisoning. I am going through the chapter on Kenya and trying to tidy up some loose ends. I have anecdotal evidence that Furadan is still accessible in Uganda, Tanzania and Rwanda. I have a personal communication on this from Uganda, but not for Tanzania or Rwanda. Can you or any of your colleagues substantiate this for me (ie, serve as a personal communication)?

Best wishes,

    grateful as many of you as possible visit your local agricultural supplies store and ask for Furadan and let me know if it's for sale..and, if not wgat do they recomend as a replacement.

    thanks

    Furadan

    HI


    So, yesterday I asked in a couple of places about Furadan. I was told that it is not on the market or available to buy but there is old stock around, I also found out that Oikos have a guy here at the moment working on chemical usage in farming and this is one of the chemicals that is under discussion. Let me get this right, it is now illegal to distribute and sell, but what about the old stock, does that have to be destroyed and how?? Does the distributing company have to, legally, recall stock?
