EFFECT OF OVEREXPOSURE

REPORTS HAVE ASSOCIATED REPEATED AND PROLONGED OCCUPATIONAL OVER-EXPOSURE TO SOLVENTS WITH PERMANENT BRAIN AND NERVOUS SYSTEM DAMAGE. INTENTIONAL MISUSE BY DELIBERATELY CONCENTRATING AND INHALING THIS PRODUCT MAY BE HARMFUL OR FATAL.

REPEATED SKIN CONTACT HAS BEEN SHOWN TO PRODUCE SKIN TUMORS ON LABORATORY ANIMALS.
MEDICAL CONDITIONS AGGRAVATED BY EXPOSURE

PERSONS WITH PRE-EXISTING CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM DISEASE, SKIN DISORDERS, OR CHRONIC RESPIRATORY DISEASE SHOULD AVOID EXPOSURE TO THIS PRODUCT.
EMERGENCY AND FIRST AID PROCEDURES

SKIN: THOROUGHLY WASH EXPOSED AREA WITH SOAP AND WATER. REMOVE CONTAMINATED CLOTHING. LAUNDER CONTAMINATED CLOTHING BEFORE RE-USE.

EYES: FLUSH WITH LARGE AMOUNTS OF WATER, LIFTING UPPER AND LOWER LIDS OCCASIONALLY. GET MEDICAL ATTENTION.

INGESTION: DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING. KEEP PERSON WARM, QUIET AND GET MEDICAL ATTENTION. ASPIRATION OF MATERIAL INTO LUNGS DUE TO VOMITING CAN CAUSE CHEMICAL PNEUMONITIS WHICH CAN BE FATAL.

INHALATION: IF AFFECTED, REMOVE INDIVIDUAL TO FRESH AIR. IF BREATHING IS DIFFICULT, ADMINISTER OXYGEN. IF BREATHING HAS STOPPED, GIVE ARTIFICIAL RESPIRATION. KEEP PERSON WARM, QUIET, AND GET MEDICAL ATTENTION.
