| From MSDS Principal Hazards Warning -Accidental ingestion of a small amount of this material may cause gastrointestinal disturbances including irritation, nausea, vomiting and diarrhea. A very large ingestion could result in fatigue, dizziness, coma, respiratory arrest and death. Chemical pneumonitis or non-cardiogenic pulmonary edema can also develop. -This material is an aspiration hazard; product can enter the lungs during swallowing or vomiting and cause lung damage. -Maybe irritating to the eyes, skin and respiratory tract. -Breathing vapors may cause harmful central nervous system effects including, dizziness, drowsiness, blurred vision, loss of consciousness and death. -Combustible liquid. Product may present a moderate fire and explosion hazard. -May cause chronic health effects. Oral Toxicity: May cause gastrointestinal disturbances including irritation, abdominal pain, belching, nausea, vomiting, frequent loose stools and diarrhea. Ingestion of large quantities may cause harmful central nervous system effects similar to those listed under -Inhalation-. This material is an aspiration hazard; product can enter the lungs during swallowing or vomiting and cause lung inflammation and damage.

| From MSDS May cause chronic health effects. Reports have associated repeated and prolonged overexposure to petroleum distillates with adverse liver, kidney and bone marrow effects and with permanent brain and nervous system damage. Intentional misuse by deliberately concentrating and inhaling the product may be harmful or fatal. |
| From MSDS This product contains kerosene. Repetitive direct skin application of kerosene over a two year period resulted in skin cancer in laboratory animals. Petroleum hydrocarbons of similar composition and boiling ranges have been known to product kidney damage and tumors in male rats following prolonged inhalation exposures. Kerosene products have been positive in mutagenic test systems. Some petroleum distillates have been found to cause adverse reproductive effects in laboratory animals. This product does not contain chemicals regulated by the State of California under proposition 65. |
| From MSDS Swallowing: If swallowed, get immediate medical attention by calling a Poison Control Center or emergency room. Do not make person vomit unless instructed to do so by Poison Control Center Specialists. If medical advice cannot be obtained, then take the person and product to the nearest medical emergency treatment center or hospital. If vomiting occurs spontaneously, keep head below hips to prevent aspiration into the lungs and monitor for breathing difficulty. Skin: Remove contaminated clothing and shoes. Wash all affected and exposed areas with soap and water. If skin irritation or redness persists seek medical attention. Inhalation: If symptoms of exposure develop, remove to fresh air. If breathing becomes difficult, administer oxygen. Administer artificial respiration if breathing has stopped. Seek medical attention. Eyes: Exposed eyes should be immediately flushed with copious amounts of water using a steady stream for a minimum of 15 minutes. If irritation, pain, swelling or tearing persist, seek medical attention. |
