II Health Hazard Data III Hazardous Ingredients
Moderate eye irritant. Mild to moderate skin irritant. Occasional clinical
reports suggest a low potential for skin sensitization upon exaggerated
exposure to sodium hypochlorite if skin damage (e.g. irritation) occurs during
exposure. Routine clinical tests conducted on intact skin with this product
found no sensitization in the test subjects. Exposure to vapor or mist may
irritate eyes, nose, throat, lungs. Harmful if swallowed. May cause nausea
and vomiting if swallowed. The following medical conditions may be
aggravated by exposure to high concentrations of vapor or mist: heart
conditions or chronic respiratory problems such as asthma, emphysema,
chronic bronchitis or obstructive lung disease. Under normal consumer-use
conditions, the likelihood of any adverse health effects is low.
FIRST AID
:
EYE CONTACT
: Hold eye open and rinse slowly and gently with water for
15–20 minutes. Remove contact lenses, if present, after the first 5 minutes,
then continue rinsing eye. If irritation persists, call a doctor.
SKIN CONTACT
: Take off contaminated clothing. Rinse skin immediately
with plenty of water for 15–20 minutes. If irritation persists, call a doctor.
INGESTION
: Call a poison control center or doctor for further treatment
advice. Have person sip a glassful of water if able to swallow. Do not induce
vomiting unless told to do so by a poison control center or doctor. Do not
give anything by mouth to an unconscious person.
INHALATION
