Potential health effects

Eye Contact: May cause moderate eye irritation. May cause slight corneal injury. Vapor or mist may cause eye irritation. Skin Contact: Brief contact may cause severe skin irritation with pain and local redness. Skin Absorption: Prolonged skin contact is unlikely to result in absorption of harmful amounts. Skin Sensitization: Skin contact may cause an allergic skin reaction. Inhalation: No adverse effects are anticipated from single exposure to mist. Excessive exposure may cause irritation to upper respiratory tract (nose and throat) and lungs. May cause central nervous system effects. Ingestion: Low toxicity if swallowed. Small amounts swallowed incidentally as a result of normal handling operations are not likely to cause injury; however, swallowing larger amounts may cause injury. Ingestion of naphthalene by humans has caused hemolytic anemia.

Aspiration hazard

Aspiration into the lungs may occur during ingestion or vomiting, causing lung damage or even death due to chemical pneumonia. Effects of Repeated Exposure For the active ingredient(s) In animals, effects have been reported on the following organs: Liver. Kidney. Central nervous system. Eye. Adrenal gland. Blood. For the solvent(s): Contains component(s) which have been reported to cause effects on the following organs in animals: Blood-forming organs (Bone marrow & Spleen). Liver. Cataracts and other eye effects have been reported in humans repeatedly exposed to naphthalene vapor or dust.

Cancer information

For the active ingredient(s) Has caused cancer in laboratory animals. For the solvent(s): Contains naphthalene which has caused cancer in some laboratory animals. In humans, there is limited evidence of cancer in workers involved in naphthalene production. Limited oral studies in rats were negative. Birth Defects/Developmental Effects For the active ingredient(s) Has been toxic to the fetus in laboratory animals at doses toxic to the mother. N-methyl pyrrolidone has caused toxic effects to the fetus in laboratory animals at high dose levels with either mild or undetectable maternal toxicity. Reproductive Effects For the active ingredient(s) Effects have been seen only at doses that produced significant toxicity to the parent animals.
