product.Donotswallowthisproduct!
Signs,Symptoms,and
ToxicEffectsof
Overexposure:
Exposuretoexcessvaporconcentrationsofthisproductwillcauseirritationof
therespiratorytractwithcough,difficultybreathing,drynessofthethroat,etc.
Exposuretohighvaporconcentrationsmaycausecentralnervoussystem
depression,nausea,headache,dizziness,hilarity,fainting,orconfusion.Extreme
exposurescouldresultintachycardia,coma,or
death.Directeyeorskin
exposuretothisproductwillcauseirritationwithstingingandwateringofeyes
anddry,redskin.Ingestionresultsinpainorburningofthegastrointestinal
tractandpossiblyvomiting.Reportshaveassociatedrepeatedandprolonged
overexposuretosolventswithpermanentbrainandnervoussystemdamage.

Intentionalmisusebydeliberatelyconcentratingandinhalingthecontentsmay
beharmfulorfatal.Prolongedoverexposuretothisproductmayalsocause

ReproductiveEffects: Therearenodatafromhuman sexposedtothisproducttoindicatereproductive
effects.Thefollowingdataarefromanimalexperimentsandmaynotpredictfor
humaneffects.Tetrahydrofuran:Animalexperimentsindicatepossible
embryotoxiceffectsinembryosexposedviamaternalexposuredurin g 
pregnancy.Methylethylketone:Exposureofpregnantrats
tohighvaporlevels
hasresultedinteratogeniceffects.Toluene:Fetotoxicandteratogeniceffects
havebeenreportedinmiceexposedtovaporlevelsoftolueneabovetheTLV
whilepregnant.Maleratsexposedtohighlevelsoftolueneviainhalation
showedeffectsontestesandsperm.Butylbenzylphthalate:Atthe
highdosein
aratfeedingstudy(approximately2.5percentofthediet)adecreaseinthe
weightofthetesteswasnoted.Onestudyinratsreportsunspecifiedchangesin
spermatahighdose.NodatawerefoundforPVC/PVACopolymer.
MutagenicityData: Thisproducthasnotbeentestedformutagenicity.Tetrahydrofuran,butyl
benzylphthalate,methylethylketone,andtoluenearegenerallynegativein
mutagenicitytests.NodatawerefoundforPVC/PVACopolymer.
Designationas
PotentialCarcinogen:
EPAdesignatesbutylbenzylphthalateasGroupC,a“possiblehuman
carcinogen.”IARCdesignatesPVC,PVA,andbutylbenzylphthalateasGroup3,
“notclassifiableastoitscarcinogenicityinhumans.”
