There is really no point in bumping this thread up yet again and you all getting excited about it! It is getting on for 3 years old. The original project (taken on by an MP) has been abandoned.
I have explained on here many times what the situation is. MMA is considered 'inappropriate' for use on nails. It is not considered 'dangerous'! If there is any possibility that it is on the list of cosmetic ingredients that are 'banned' it is way, way down the list. Ingredients that are potentially 'life threatening', carcinogenic' or the, so called, 'gender benders' are far more important.
Doug Schoon has said many times that the banning of it in the US has not helped at all and, if anything, made the situation. At a meeting with representatives from most of the Local Authority Environmental Health Depts a couple of years ago (when the HSE were conducting research projects into nail salons) they said they are all aware of it but can do nothing. Even if it were to be banned they do not have the resources to police it.
Remember: it is NOT dangerous and is no more hazardous than EMA. It is just inappropriate for nails. The main gripe from the industry is one based on commercials and no one is going to listen to that!
Can we get over it and move on
Thanks for the info, wish I had read the whole thread but Sooo many pages of "Signed" I just went to the site and then the last page
Will have a little look tomorrow and see if I can get one sorted but it might be better if someone with more knowledge could do it or be my "advisor"I also think we do still need to get it banned on the use of "nails" even if it isn't dangerous for it's intended purpose. Shame the petition isn't working properly and I'd love it if someone were to set one up properly saying for it to be banned on the use of "nail" treatments.

Yes I feel the same which is why I'd rather not start it. I was thinking it would be good if it was started by someone who is held with high regard in the nail industry. x
I have just looked through the signatures and every one says NO to banning in UK. Did everyone use the drop down box and select yes? I did but it took ages to go through and now cant find the signature. Is it a glitsch on the petition site or have missed something?
I've signed and posted on my facebook too for others to see and sign
