Extremely Flammable liquid and vapors. Toxic in case of inhalation or ingestion. Harmful in contact with skin. Keep out of reach of children. Read label before use. Keep away from heat/ sparks/ open flames/ hot surfaces- DO NOT SMOKE. Keep container tightly closed. Do not breathe vapors. Use only in open air and well-ventilated places. Principal Hazards: Skin or Eyes: Contact with this product can be irritating to contaminated skin and eyes. Vapors of this product can redden and irritate the eyes. If the eyes are contaminated with splashes, sprays or mists of this product, reddening tearing, and corneal opacity can occur. The liquid can be mildly to severely irritating to contaminated skin (depending on duration of exposure). Prolonged or repeated skin over-exposures can lead to dermatitis. Skin absorption is a potential route of overexposure for Cyclohexanone (a component of this product). Inhalation: Inhalation of vapors, mists, or sprays of this product can be irritating to the nose, throat, mucous membranes, and other tissues of the respiratory system. Symptoms of overexposure can include coughing, sneezing, and shortness of breath. Additionally, the components of this product are central nervous system depressants. Symptoms of over-exposure can include drowsiness, dizziness, fatigue, headache, nausea, and general anesthetic effects. Inhalation of high concentrations of this product (as may occur in a poorly-ventilated area) may be fatal. Based on clinical studies involving test animals, Cyclohexanone and Tetrahydrofuran, components of this product, may cause liver and kidney damage after long-term inhalation overexposures. This product must be used with adequate ventilation. Mechanical exhaust may be needed. Ensure exposure to vapors is minimized by use of appropriate engineering controls, work practices, and personal protective equipment, as described in the remainder of this document. Ingestion: Ingestion is not anticipated to be a significant route of occupational overexposure for this product. If ingestion occurs, refer to Section 4 (First-Aid Measures) and get medical help immediately. If ingestion of this product does occur, symptoms of such over-exposure can include nausea, vomiting, and other symptoms described for “Inhalation”. Ingestion can also lead to liver and kidney damage. Ingestion of this product may be fatal. Injection: Injection is not anticipated to be a significant route of over-exposure for this product. If injection does occur (i.e. through a puncture by an object contaminated with the product), local irritation and swelling can occur. Additional symptoms may include those described for “Inhalation”. See section 11 for complete health hazard information
