The GE 1200 use to say aquarium safe on it awhile back I came across a article about this a couple months ago on one of the other reef sites. It was removed for liability issues as stated above.

As far as I know the GE D&W 100% has always said "not for use in aquariums" but it's always worked well for me.

+1 on the GE Silicone I

As stated above.. for liability issues.

I also heard that they did this so that the aquarium silicone market (who apparently get their silicone from GE) wouldn't be so mad because it would cut into their market.
