II Health Hazard Data III Hazardous Ingredients
CAN CAUSE BURNS ON CONTACT. Injures eyes, skin and mucous
membranes on contact. Harmful if swallowed; nausea, vomiting, and burning
sensation of the mouth and throat may occur. No adverse health effects are
expected with recommended use. Occasional clinical reports suggest a low
potential for sensitization upon exaggerated exposure to sodium hypochlorite
if skin damage (e.g. irritation) occurs during exposure. However, clinical tests
conducted on intact skin with products containing sodium hypochlorite found
no sensitization in the test subjects.
Although not expected, heart conditions or chronic respiratory problems such
as asthma, chronic bronchitis or obstructive lung disease may be aggravated
by exposure to high concentrations of vapor or mist.
FIRST AID
:
EYE CONTACT
: Flush immediately with water for 15 minutes. If wearing

INGESTION
: Drink a glassful of water. DO NOT induce vomiting.
Immediately contact a doctor or Poison Control Center.
SKIN CONTACT

water. Contact a doctor immediately if irritation or discomfort persists.
