How can they sell this stuff in the grocery store for folks to spray all over their oven. And you know they don't wear any of this protective gear!

I'm a chemist...so I got to warn people who try removing anodizing with oven cleaner or custic materials...not only do you wear gloves (neoprene or nitrile not latex) YOU HAVE TO WEAR GLASSES AT ALL TIMES. ONES WITH SIDESHIELDS ARE EVEN BETTER.

Reason:If the stuff sprays or glops into your eye you have probably nanoseconds before your cornea starts dissolving and is etched. Translation..painfully blind or sight impaired and you won't be able read the Campy label any more. BTW, I don't believe corneas regenerate either.
