| 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 headache, dizziness, coma, respiratory arrest and death. -This material is an aspiration hazard; product can enter the lungs during swallowing or vomiting and cause lung damage. -Irritating to the eyes, skin and respiratory tract. -Breathing vapors may cause harmful central nervous system effects including headache, dizziness drowsiness, loss of consciousness and death. -Combustible liquid. Product may present a moderate fire and explosion hazard. -May cause chronic health effects. KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN Oral Toxicity: Swallowing 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. Eye Irritation: This product is not expected to cause prolonged or significant eye irritation. The hazard evaluation is based on data from similar materials. Skin Irritation: May cause irritation, seen as localized reddening and swelling. Prolonged or repeated exposures to this material may cause redness, burning and drying and cracking of the skin. Dermal Toxicity: Absorption as from prolonged or massive skin contact may result in toxicity. Inhalation Toxicity: Excessive inhalation of vapor or mist may cause irritation of the nose, throat and respiratory tract. May cause harmful central nervous system effects including euphoria, headache, dizziness, drowsiness, blurred vision, fatigue, tremors, convulsions, loss of consciousness, coma, respiratory arrest and death. Sensitization: Based on data from the components this product is not expected to cause skin or respiratory sensitization. |
| From MSDS: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. |
| 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. Light aromatic solvent naphtha has 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. |
| Swallowing: Get immediate medical attention by calling a Poison Control Center or hospital emergency room. Do not make person vomit unless instructed to do so by medical personnel. If medical advice cannot be obtained, then take the person and product to the nearest medical for emergency treatment center or hospital. If vomiting occurs spontaneously, keep head below hips to prevent aspiration into the lungs. Skin: Remove contaminated clothing immediately. Wash all affected and exposed areas with soap and water. If skin irritation or redness persists seek medical attention.Inhalation: Remove affected person from source of exposure. If breathing becomes difficult, administer oxygen. Administer artificial respiration if breathing has stopped. Seek medical attention. Eye: 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. Notes To Physician: There is no specific antidote. Treatment should be directed at the control of symptoms and clinical conditions. If clinically indicated, stomach contents should be evacuated quickly in a manner which avoids aspiration. A serious potential toxic effect is aspiration pneumonitis, which may lead to non-cardiogenic pulmonary edema. The patient should be observed for signs of lung injury is aspiration is suspected. Large ingestions may result in naphthalene toxicity with hemolysis, fever, anemia, methemoglobinemia, seizures, acute renal failure and coma especially in patients with glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency, sickle cell anemia or sickle trait. |
