A small chemical and lab-supply company tucked away on a dead-end street south of downtown Louisville boasts on its Web site that it sells chemicals "in any amount, in any grade, from a gram to a barge load," to industries, schools and individuals.
That willingness to sell has left the company, Antec Inc., with a brew of legal troubles:
The federal Drug Enforcement Administration has investigated Antec because its chemicals have been found during raids of methamphetamine labs.
The company is the target of a civil lawsuit over its online sale of poison to a Maryland teenager who used it to kill a classmate in 2003.
Environmental officials have alleged that Antec violated state regulations and the federal Clean Water Act.
