2. DNP availability
“DNP is still readily available over the internet, as diet pills”
3. inadequate legislation
“the views of the FSA Chief Executive and FSA Chair individually, is the current legislation is wholly inadequate and in no way an appropriate means by which to deal with offences that can result in the deaths of those who consume it (DNP) and these individuals are often young and vulnerable people”
