SECTION 3 - HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION
         
  EMERGENCY OVERVIEW:

Ingredients in the package may be harmful if swallowed or absorbed through the skin. Direct contact with skin or eyes may cause skin irritation or burns and irreversible eye damage. Inhalation of vapor in high concentrations may cause irritation or burns of the respiratory system. 

POTENTIAL HEALTH EFFECTS (Acute and Chronic):

Skin contact and inhalation are expected to be the primary routes of exposure to the ingredients in the product.

L(+)-Lactic acid (in the gelatin part) is an irritant to eyes and skin and direct contact may cause blurred vison or burns. Inhalation in high concentration may cause irritation, burns, breathing difficulties, headache or dizziness. Ingestion may produce burns, vomiting or gastrointestinal disturbance. Ammonium bicarbonate (in the solid part) is a slight irritant to eyes and skin. Ingestion of large doses may produce nausea and vomiting and cause systemic ammonia poisoning. Inhalation may cause respiratory irritation. No chronic effects are known.

On the basis of available information, exposure to the inert ingredients in the product is not expected to cause significant adverse human health effects when recommended safety precautions are followed.

CARCINOGENICITY: 

The ingredients in this product are not listed as carcinogens by OSHA and are
are not listed as suspected carcinogens by the National Toxicology Program (NTP) or the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC).
