This is a lawsuit site Benzene – Toxicology Litigation Support – Consultox but it does mention WD-40. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WD-40 the Australian version has benzene
I didn’t want to get into products used in foreign countries I know nothing about, but since you brought it up, ....
Australian WD-40 as described in that Wikipedia entry contains tri-methyl benzene. That is not benzene, any more than toluene (“methyl benzene”), TNT, or cholesterol are benzene.
