Prolonged exposure to sunlight or heat may cause bursting of can.
Avoid prolonged breathing of vapors or contact with skin and eyes.

Potential Health Effects:
Eye:Temporary irritation
Skin: Prolonged exposure can cause irritation, drying and flaking
Inhalation: Overexposure can cause irritation of respiratory tract and central nervous system depression
Ingestion: Overexposure can cause central nervous system depression. Aspiration into lungs can cause chemical pneumonitis.
 
Carcinogenicity: IARC - Yes NTP - No OSHA - No

Chronic: Prolonged overexposure may contribute to liver abnormalities, kidney damage.
This product contains Trichloroethylene, a chemical known to the state of California to cause cancer.

SECTION 4: FIRST AID MEASURES

If Inhaled: Move to fresh air. Give oxygen to exposed person, if necessary.
If Swallowed: Do NOT induce vomiting. Drink two glasses of water and contact
physician, hospital, or poison control center.
If In Eyes: Flush thoroughly with water for at least 15 minutes.
If On Skin: Wash affected area with soap and water.

Note to Physician: Do not give stimulants. Epinephrine or ephedrine may adversely affect
the heart with fatal results.

SECTION 5: FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
