Causes damage to organs through prolonged or repeated exposure. Based on
classification criteria from the 2012 OSHA Hazard Communication Standard (29 CFR
1910.1200), this product has been determined to cause systemic target organ toxicity from
chronic or repeated exposure. (STOT RE).
Chronic exposure to corrosive fumes/gases may cause erosion of the teeth followed by jaw
necrosis. Bronchial irritation with chronic cough and frequent attacks of pneumonia are
common. Gastrointestinal disturbances may also be seen. Effects from this product
caused by acute exposure may cause permanent damage to target organs and/or may
sible risk of irreversible effects. Avoid repeated exposure.
