This is soooo off topic, but I once worked in a carpentry shop where acetone was used to
clean contact cement from veneer. On my first day at work, I sat down to eat lunch with my
co-workers. After a few seconds, I suddenly felt like my butt was on fire! I jumped up to
roars of laughter to find that one of the guys had put a rag that had traces of acetone on
it on my chair.
I wonder if there are "latent defects" after all these years?

I have shut down production
lines because someone snuck acetone onto the line for cleaning. It doesn't
have to come in contact to damage plastics and other encapsulating materials
used for electronic parts. The vapors are enough to cause latent defects
that may take years to mature.
