Potential health effects

Eyes: May cause moderate eye irritation which may be slow to heal. May cause slight corneal injury. Skin: Brief contact may cause severe skin irritation with pain and local redness. May cause drying and flaking of the skin. Prolonged contact may cause skin irritation, even a burn. Prolonged skin contact is unlikely to result in absorption of harmful amounts. Has caused allergic skin reactions when tested in guinea pigs. 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. 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. May be fatal if swallowed and enters airways. Chronic Exposure: For the active ingredient(s): In animals, effects have been reported on the following organs: Liver. Blood. Spleen. Has been toxic to the fetus in laboratory animals at doses toxic to the mother. In laboratory animal studies, effects on reproduction have been seen only at doses that produced significant toxicity to the parent animals. For the major component(s): In animals, effects have been reported on the following organs: Gastrointestinal tract. Thyroid. Urinary tract. Lung. Dose levels producing these effects were many times higher than any dose levels expected from exposure due to use. For the minor component(s): In animals, effects have been reported on the following organs: Blood-forming organs (Bone marrow & Spleen). Excessive exposure may cause hemolysis, thereby impairing the blood's ability to transport oxygen. Liver. Cataracts and other eye effects have been reported in humans repeatedly exposed to naphthalene vapor or dust. Ingestion of naphthalene by humans has caused hemolytic anemia. Central nervous system. 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. N-methyl pyrrolidone has caused toxic effects to the fetus in laboratory animals at high dose levels with either mild or undetectable maternal toxicity.
