Potential health effects

Eye: Eye contact can cause severe irritation, redness, tearing, blurred vision and may cause transient injury to cornea. Skin: Short contact may cause slight reddening or no irritation. Prolonged or frequently repeated contact can cause irritation, defatting, dermatitis and may result in absorption of harmful amounts. Some ingredients in this product may be absorbed through intact skin and produce toxic effects similar to swallowing. Ingestion: Aspiration of material into the lungs can cause chemical pneumotitis which can be fatal. Ingestion can cause blindness, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, gastrointestinal irritation and death. Inhalation: Inhalation of vapors can cause nasal and respiratory irritation, dizziness, weakness, fatigue, headache, nausea, unconsciousness and asphyxiation. Chronic Overexposure Information: Intentional misuse by deliberately concentrating and inhaling the product may be harmful or fatal. Reports have associated repeated and prolonged overexposure to solvents with permanent brain, nervous system, liver and kidney damage. For hazard communication purposes under OSHA standard 29 CFR part 1910.1200, methylene chloride has been shown to increase the rate of spontaneously occuring malignant tumors in one strain of laboratory mouse and benign tumors in laboratory rats. Other animal studies and human epidemiology studies have not shown a tumorigenic response which could be related to methylene chloride. Teratology and Reproduction Information: Toluene may be harmful to the human fetus based on positive test results with laboratory animals. Case studies show that prolonged intentional abuse of toluene during pregnancy can cause birth defects in humans. Aggravation of Pre-Existing Conditions: Pre-existing eye, skin and respiratory disorders may be aggravated by exposure to this product. Excessive exposure may cause carboxyhemoglobinemia and impair blood's ability to transport oxygen.
