PEEL PASTE, PART A

SECTION 2: Hazards identification

Skin Contact: Prolonged or repeated exposure may cause skin irritation and redness. Skin sensitization or allergic reaction (contact dermatitis) may occur in some individuals. Eye Contact: Following contact irritation will take place Ingestion: Probable oral toxicity, LD50 (rat), >10g/kg. Irritation of the mouth, pharynx, esophagus and stomach can develop upon ingestion. Inhalation: No known health information on inhalation of vapors. Vapors and aerosols probably affect respiratory tract. MDI can induce respiratory irritation with asthma-like symptoms. These symptoms may be immediate or delayed up to several hours after exposure. There are reports that long-term exposure may result in decreased lung function.

Precautionary statements

Do not handle until all safety precautions have been read and understood. Do not breathe vapors. In case of inadequate ventilation wear respiratory protection. Wear protective gloves and eye protection. Do not eat, drink or smoke when using this product. Wash thoroughly after handling. Store locked up. Keep away from children. Dispose of contents and container in accordance with applicable local, regional and national regulations.

DANGER

Hazard statements

Chronic As a result of previous repeated overexposure or a single large dose, certain individuals develop isocyanine sensitization (chemical asthma) or tissue injury in the upper respiratory tract. Animal tests indicate skin contact alone may also lead to allergic respiratory reaction. These effects may be permanent. Any person developing asthmatic reaction or other sensitization should be removed from further exposure. Other Effects of Overexposure: In a recently completed study, groups of rats were exposed for 6 hours/day, 5 days/ week for a lifetime to atmospheres of respirable polymeric MDI aerosol. Tumor incidence, both benign and malignant, and the number of animals with tumors were not different from controls. There were no lung tumors at 1 mg/m3 and no effects at .2 mg/m3. However, at the top level only of 6 mg/m3 there was a signifi cant incidence of a benign tumor of the lung (adenoma) and one malignant tumor (adenocarcinoma). The increased incidence for lung tumors is associated with the prolonged respiratory irritation and the concurrent accumulation of yellow material in the lung that was observed throughout the study. Carcinogenicity: In order to comply with California Proposition 65, we feel obligated to advise that some of our products may conceivably contain trace contaminants of some of the listed chemicals. While not necessarily added to our products as ingredients, some listed chemicals may be present in the raw materials from suppliers and over which we have no control. Therefore, even though some of the listed substances may not be present, a signifi cant risk as defi ned by the regulations in order to comply with California law, we feel obligated to make the following statement: Warning Our products may contain trace amounts of some chemicals considered by the State of California to be carcinogens or reproductive toxicants.
