There is the rub George, when I quized MinWax about the no tung oil, they
told me the product was Tung oil "FINISH", and there was no claim on the
can that it contained Tung oil. According to the MSDS, the product was at
least 50% mineral spirits. But they also gave me the name and number of a
company that would supply me with actual Tung Oil.

Yep, formulations are protected as trade secrets.

Now, say there was _no_ tung in something which said it contained it, I'm
willing to bet some AH would sue for false advertising, or some AG with
greater aspirations would file against "big chemical" to gain populist
points.

And there's a big difference between stating an ingredient and a product
name. No trees were squeezed for "teak oil," you can be sure, and as to
"Danish" or "baby" oil....

That is the nice thing about the MSDS, by law they are required to
provide it upon request.
