Health Hazards Acute and Chronic:EXTENSIVE STUDIES HAVE BEEN CONDUCTED
ON HALOCARBON OILS SIMILAR TO THE ONES FOUND IN THIS PRODUCT. BASED
ON ALL THE AVAILABLE DATA IN THREE SPECIES OF ANIMALS, LIMITED
EXPOSURE TO THIS PRODUCT SHOULD NOT BE HARMFUL TO ANY PORTION OF
THE HUMAN ANATOMY. STUDIES CONDUCTED BY THE AIR FORCE HAVE
DEMONSTRATED LIVER TOXICITY IN RODENTS BUT NOT IN PRIMATES. THE
OBSERVED LIVER TOXICITY IS BELIEVED TO BE S PECIFIC FOR RODENTS AND
NOT RELEVENT TO HUMANS. HALOCARBON OILS ARE NOT IRRITATING TO THE
SKIN BUT SIMPLE SKIN PROTECTION SHOULD BE USED TO PREVENT REPEATED
EXPOSURE AND THE POSSIBILITY OF SENSITIZATI ON. (EFTS OF OVEREXP)
Effects of Overexposure:HLTH HAZ: ALL MUTAGANIC STUDIES WERE NEGATIVE.
