Liability.
1. Federal law prohibits the use of any pesticide "in a manner inconsistent with its labeling." You will find that warning on the can.
2. It is poison. Although a person is unlikely to die from being sprayed, there may be state laws that could result in the person spraying the wasp spray to be charged with some level of attempted homicide.
3. Mace, and similar products, are designed, intended and approved for self defense, within the constraints of state and local laws.
