Other hazards which do not result in classification
Overexposure to ethanol by skin absorption, inhalation or ingestion may have a narcotic effect (headache, nausea, drowsiness). Ethanol is metabolized to acetaldehyde and acetic acid which in large quantities result in metabolic acidosis, CNS depression and death due to respiratory arrest. This product contains ethanol which is classified as a carcinogen by IARC in alcoholic beverages.
