They have, in some respects & areas.  For example, in my area, we aren't
allowed to have wooden roofs unless they are treated with fire retardant.

But as noted, with reasonable precautions (mostly decent ventilation and
distance from ignition sources), mineral spirits are reasonably safe.  Safer
than gasoline anyway, which I've frequently used.
