All of them show a big "Warning - May Cause Burns, Blindness, Death, etc" on the front label and urging you to check the ingredients on the back label. And they don't show the back label. No mention of formaldehyde, yes or no, anywhere in the listing. But in the Users Comments section, there are numerous reviews saying "Wonderful stuff, yes, it has formaldehyde".

So as I said originally, I don't know what is going on. Maybe some warehouses have received permission to clear out their stock. And a lot of it is showing up on eBay, of course. The big picture doesn't make sense to me, but listings for Aqua-Kem Original disappeared for a while, and are now back.

Caveat Emptor.

I think I found the one you're referring to: "Aqua-Kem sold by RV Wholesale Direct LLC". On the Amazon link I noticed that it says "100% Biodegradable". Please correct me if I'm wrong, but it seems to me that formaldehyde wouldn't be considered biodegradable. Also, I searched the reviews and questions, and it seems to be that all of the ones that are 2022 or more recent say they either got "Aqua Max" or that what they got doesn't have formaldehyde in it, and all the ones that were earlier than 2022 say it does have formaldehyde. That seems to fit the timeframe of when they outlawed formaldehyde.
