Inhalation (Breathing):
Bleach Tablet: If dust from product is inhaled, move to fresh air. If the person is not breathing call 911 or an
ambulance, then give artificial respiration. Call a poison center for treatment advice. Have the product
container or label with you when calling a poison center or going for treatment.
Deodorant Tablet: Move to fresh air. Get medical attention if irritation develops and persists.
Signs and Symptoms of Exposure: Bleach tablets are corrosive and may cause burns to the eyes, skin,
mouth and gastrointestinal tract. May be fatal if swallowed. Repeated exposure may cause an allergic skin
reaction (sensitization). Contact with the blue deodorant tablet may cause moderate eye and skin irritation.
Indication of Immediate Medical Attention/Special Treatment Needed:
Bleach Tablet: Immediate medical attention is needed for all routes of contact. Note to physician: Probable
mucosal damage may contraindicate the use of gastric lavage.
Deodorant Tablet: Immediate medical attention is generally not required.
5 – Fire Fighting Measures
Suitable (and unsuitable) Extinguishing Media: Flood with water or foam. Do not use dry chemicals,
carbon dioxide or halogenated extinguishing agents.
Specific Hazards Arising from the Chemical: Heating Bleach Tablets will generate noxious gases. To
minimize the generation of these gases, flood with a large quantity of water. Bleach Tablets are strong
oxidizers and may react with flammable or combustible materials to cause a fire or explosion.
Special Protective Equipment and Precautions for Fire-Fighters: Firefighters should always wear positive
pressure self-contained breathing apparatus and full protective clothing.
6 – Accidental Release Measures
Personal Precautions, Protective Equipment and Emergency Procedures: Eliminate all sources of
ignition and ventilate area. Wear appropriate protective clothing (see Section 8).
Methods and Materials for Containment/Cleanup: Bleach Tablets spilled from a single retail package
should be carefully collected and flushed down the drain with plenty of water. Do not generate airborne dust.
If a damp cloth or paper towel is used to collect material, rinse it thoroughly with a large amount of water
before reuse or disposal. Concentrated bleach may cause a fire in contact with paper, rags or other
combustible material. Large amounts should be carefully collected into a plastic container for disposal.
For small spills of Deodorant (one retail container or less) flush down drain with plenty of water. For larger
spills, collect and place in a sealable container for later disposal.
