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 dust/fume/gas/mist/vapors/spray 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 gloves/protective clothing/eye protection/face protection S2: Keep out of reach of children S15: Keep away from heat S20/21: When using do not eat, drink or smoke S22: Do not breathe dust S39: Wear eye/face protection 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 metal capsule 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 product 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. Antimony sulfide: Inhalation of high concentrations may cause dizziness, headache, and nausea. Workers chronically exposed to high concentrations of antimony sulfide have developed heart and blood effects. Barium nitrate: Ingestion of large doses of soluble barium compounds can cause cyanosis, skeletal muscle paralysis, respiratory arrest, irregular heartbeat and hypertension. It is unlikely that the amount of particles that someone would be exposed to from firing would be sufficient to cause any of these effects.
