Rocky Hill CVS Stores to Require ID on Nail Polish Remover Sales

The acetone found in nail polish remover can be used to produce methamphetamine.

The two CVS stores in Rocky Hill are taking part in a new region-wide policy requiring customer ID for nail polish remover purchases.

CVS stores located in southern New England are participating in the effort to stem the creation of methamphetamine, the Huffington Post reports. The acetone in nail polish can be used to make the drug, the Post said.

According to a WPRI article, customers will also be restricted in the number of bottles they can buy.
