ORAL: Small amounts transferred to the mouth by fingers during use, etc. should not
injure. Swallowing larger quantities may have adverse effects depending on
quantity ingested. Repeated ingestion of BBP may cause sleepiness, withdrawal,
and weight loss or decreased weight gain. Ingestion of xylene may cause central
nervous system effects.
SPECIFIC EFFECTS:
This material contains the following components with the special hazards listed below.
Carcinogens: See below.
Teratogens: Xylene and ethyl benzene may cause teratogenic effects.
