I was doing a bit of research and it seems the old reliable chemical formulas got banned last year.

Anyone use a new store-bought product to strip paint off plastic parts in 2021 successfully? What worked? Thx

Free state of what? Mexico?

The ban on consumer distribution of methylene chloride (dichloromethane) is federal.

If you have a hobby shop in your town, they probably sell model paint remover. It's safe for use on plastics. Also PepBoys sells a plastics paint remover in a spray can made by Klean Strip (Aircraft Paint Remover). It's safe on plastics, but test an area first just to be sure it's safe on what you're working on. I used it on my Yamaha outboard plastic parts when I repainted it and it works well.

The EPA banned that formula for consumer use and distrubution in 2019 (commercial users can still get it with a bunch of paperwork and accountability bs)

Now we have.... this. Most reviews insist that it can't do jack.
