Connolly Hide Food is now Hide Care?!
I got a newsletter from autogeek.com, a detailing supply retailer, and they said that the famed Connolly Hide Food, which has been used for years by leather freaks, and is recommended for the famous hides in Rolls/Bentleys, Ferraris, etc. had been somewhat hard to get, because of company toubles.
The, things got ironed out, and supply picked up again.
Now, it appears some hitwit actually ATE some of the product, and of course has filed a lawsuit. The US EPA or FTC (I forget which) has banned the product base don the use of the word "Food" in its name, and now Connolly has had to re-label and sell it as "Hide Care".
It is the same horrible/wonderful stuff.

Connelly is not doing well as a business at all...I believe it is just the brand name left, from what I heard the manufacturing/distribution company as we know it went down under last year.
PS - Connolly leather is/was nothing special, the brand managers over there just made us all think that, there leather was no better if not worse than most available here in the US.
