SECTION 2: Hazards identification

Emergency Overview ***: Flammable liquid and vapors. Harmful by inhalation, in contact with skin, and if swallowed. Contact with eyes or skin causes irritation. Effects Of Overexposure - Eye Contact: Exposure to liquid, aerosol, or vapors may cause irritation, tearing, redness, and swelling accompanied by a stinging sensation. Direct eye contact may cause irritation. Damage may occur to the cornea or lens of the eye. Effects Of Overexposure - Skin Contact: Direct skin contact may cause irritation. Symptoms may include swelling, redness, itching, and rash. Prolonged or repeated skin contact may cause dermatitis, drying, and defatting due to the solvent properties. Effects Of Overexposure - Inhalation: Inhalation may cause irritation to the respiratory tract (nose, mouth, mucous membranes) & acute nervous system depression characterized by the following progressive steps: headache, dizziness, staggering gait, confusion, unconsciousness, or coma. Exposure may cause a sore throat or a runny nose. Inhalation may cause headaches, difficult breathing, and loss of consciousness. Respiratory depression, failure, or death may result from overexposure. Effects Of Overexposure - Ingestion: Ingestion may cause gastrointestinal irritation, abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. May result in possible corrosive action in the mouth, stomach tissue, and digestive tract. Vomiting may cause aspiration of the solvent, resulting in chemical pneumonitis. Ingestion may cause nervous system effects, which may include headache, dizziness, numbness, staggering gait, or confusion. Ingestion may cause a burning sensation in the mouth and esophagus. Effects Of Overexposure - Chronic Hazards: Prolonged contact will cause drying and cracking of the skin, due to defatting action. Skin sensitization, asthma, or other allergic responses may develop. MINERAL SPIRITS, an ingredient of this formulation, has been shown to cause harm to the fetus in laboratory animal studies. Harm to the fetus occurs only at exposure levels that harm the pregnant animal. The relevance of these findings to humans is uncertain.
