I wouldn't single out Target as THE culprit. This snake oil is sold about anywhere that sells 134. What's worse is that it is commonly sold in a do it yourself can with a suicide hose and two bit color coded gauge attached. This is just too big of a temptation for most folks on a limited budget driving around in the Summer with their windows rolled down.

In most cases this time bomb will allow them to roll up their windows,,,, for a short period of time before they have to roll the windows back down and leave them down OR replace LOTS of components for LOTS of bucks. In some cases it results in a car hitting the wrecking yard before its time.

I sometimes help my neighbors and friends to fix their car a/c. When they tell me that they have put in stopleak, I tell them that I am not able to help them. For one reason, I don't want my expensive equipment to be exposed to the stuff and the other is that it is almost always major surgery to fix it for the long term. I like to think of myself as a good neighbor, but spending a weekend or two completely rebuilding an a/c is a little too much to ask of anyone. I suppose I would do it for my Mom or someone in my immediate family, but they would not put such junk in their cars without asking me to be the one to put it in.

Have a great day,
