III. INGREDIENTS AND HAZARDS

Concentrate causes severe but temporary eye irritation. May irritate skin. May cause nausea and vomiting if concentrate is ingested. Exposure to vapor or mist may irritate nose, throat and lungs. 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, chronic bronchitis, or obstructive lung disease. Under normal consumer use of concentrate the likelihood of any adverse health effects from the concentrate is extremely low.

FIRST AID: EYE CONTACT: immediately flush eyes with plenty of water. If irritation persists, see a doctor. SKIN CONTACT: remove contaminated clothing. Wash area with water. INGESTION: Drink large quantities of water and call a physician. Do not use baking soda or acidic antidotes. INHALATION: If breathing problems develop remove to fresh air.

Concentration:  5.25%
Hazard:  Corrosive
 
None of the ingredients in this product are on the IARC, NTP or OSHA carcinogen list. Occasional clinic reports suggest a low potential for sensitization upon exaggerated exposure to sodium hypochlorite (Concentrate) if skin damage (e.g. abrasion) occurs during exposure. Routine clinical tests conducted on intact skin found no sensitization in test subjects.
