Precautionary statements

P102: Keep out of reach of children P210: Keep away from heat/sparks/open flame/hot surfaces P250: Do not subject to shock/friction P260: Do not breathe fumes P264: Wash hands thoroughly after handling P270: Do not eat, drink or smoke when using this product P271: Use only outdoors or in a well-ventilated area P273: Avoid release to the environment P280: Wear protective clothing/eye protection/hearing protection P370+P380 In case of fire Evacuate area P374: Fight fire with normal precautions from a reasonable distance P410: Store in accordance with local regulations P501: Dispose of contents in accordance with local regulations S2: Keep out of reach of children S15: Keep away from heat S20/21: When using do not eat, drink or smoke S23: Do not breathe fumes S39: Wear eye/face protection S43: In case of fire, use Class A equipment S51: Use only in well-ventilated areas S61: Avoid release to the environment Health Hazards or Risks From Exposure This product is composed of a plastic tube and finished metal alloy cartridge which contains the various components completely sealed within. Therefore, under normal handling of this product, no exposure to any harmful materials will occur. When the ammunition is fired, a small amount of particles may be generated which may be slightly irritating to the eyes and the respiratory tract. The particles may contain trace amounts of these harmful substances: Lead: Ingestion of large amounts of lead can cause abdominal pain, constipation, cramps, nausea and/or vomiting. Chronic exposure to lead can cause kidney damage, anemia, reproductive effects, developmental effects and permanent nervous system damage in humans including changes in cognitive function. Occupational exposure to lead is associated with lung and stomach cancer. Lead is classified as a probable human carcinogen. Copper: Inhalation of high concentrations of metallic copper dusts or fumes may cause nasal irritation and/or nausea, vomiting and stomach pain. Nitroglycerin: Will produce dilation of blood vessels and drop in blood pressure which may affect the heart. It has also been shown to cause methemoglobinemia (cyanosis). Dibutyl phthalate: May cause harm to the unborn child based on animal experiments. Possible risk of impaired fertility. Nickel: Repeated exposure may cause an allergic skin reaction consisting of itching, redness, swelling, and rash or urticaria (hives) in sensitized individuals. Epidemiological studies in humans have shown an association between lung and nasal cancers and prolonged occupational exposures to high concentrations of nickel. Arsenic: Epidemiological studies in humans have shown an association between increased incidences of lung and skin cancer and prolonged exposures to high concentrations of arsenic. Arsenic is classified as a known human carcinogen. It is unlikely that the amount of particles that someone would be exposed to from firing a loaded round would be sufficient to cause any of these effects. Page 5 of 12
