DANGER!!

EXTREMELY FLAMMABLE!! VAPORS CAN CAUSE FLASH FIRE
POISON!!
ACUTE HAZARDS
EYE & SKIN CONTACT:
  Primary irritation to skin, defatting, dermatitis.
  Absorption thru skin increases exposure.
  Primary irritation to eyes, redness, tearing, blurred vision.
  Liquid can cause eye irritation.  Wash thoroughly after handling.
INHALATION:
  Anesthetic. Irritates respiratory tract.  Acute overexposure can cause serious nervous system depression. Vapor harmful.
  Breathing vapor can cause irritation.
  Acute overexposure can cause damage to kidneys, blood, nerves, liver & lungs.
  Repeated exposure over TLV can cause blindness.
SWALLOWING:
  Can be fatal or cause blindness if swallowed. Cannot be made non-poisonous.
  POISON! Can cause irreversible nervous system damage & death.
  Harmful or fatal if swallowed.
  Swallowing can cause abdominal irritation, nausea, vomiting & diarrhea.
 
SUBCHRONIC HAZARDS / CONDITIONS AGGRAVATED
CONDITIONS AGGRAVATED  
  Chronic overexposure can cause damage to kidneys, blood, nerves, liver, & lungs.  
  Persons with severe skin, liver or kidney problems should avoid use.  
CHRONIC HAZARDS
CANCER, REPRODUCTIVE & OTHER CHRONIC HAZARDS:  
  Due to metabolic differences, the results are not relevant to humans.
  This product may contain less than 57 ppm of Benzene.  
  Not considered hazardous in such low concentrations.  
  Absorption through skin may be harmful.  Studies with laboratory animals indicate this product can cause damage to fetus.

 

SECTION 4. FIRST AID MEASURES PROCEDURES
EYE CONTACT:
  For eyes, flush with plenty of water for 15 minutes & get medical attention.
SKIN CONTACT:
  In case of contact with skin immediately remove contaminated clothing.
  Wash thoroughly with soap & water. Wash contaminated clothing before reuse.
  (Discard contaminated shoes)
INHALATION:
  After high vapor exposure, remove to fresh air.  If breathing is difficult, give oxygen.  If breathing has stopped give
  artificial respiration.  CALL A PHYSICIAN IMMEDIATELY!
SWALLOWING:
  Induce vomiting promptly using physician's instructions or by having patients stick finger down throat. After vomiting has been induced, give two teaspoonful of baking soda in a glass of water. CALL A PHYSICIAN. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Have patient lie down & keep warm. Cover eyes to exclude light. Have patient lie down & keep warm.  Cover eyes to exclude light.
