Again, Caig Labs used to be the US distributor for Cramolin, which is 
a German brand.  What you have is an old bottle of Cramolin Red 
"essential oil" with no carrier (solvent) or propellant.  Like most 
aerosols, the propellants in the aerosol versions of Cramolin became 
disfavored by the EPA.

Caig Labs discontinued its distribution of Cramolin products, or 
perhaps Cramolin dumped them -- in any event, the relationship 
ended.  Caig replaced the Cramolin products with its own products, 
and has subsequently suggested that there were EPA concerns regarding 
Cramolin.  (Not true, except re: the propellants in the aerosol versions.)

Cramolin changed the propellant (as did all manufacturers of 
aerosols), and its products satisfy the applicable EU and US requirements.

Best regards,

Charles
