Serious injury or death may occur
from detergents contacting the
skin.
SEEK EMERGENCY MEDICAL CARE
if you are using cleaning agents and
the spray appears to have penetrated
the skin! DO NOT TREAT AS A
SIMPLE CUT!! Be prepared to tell
a physician exactly what kind of deter-
gents you were using by reading the
Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS)
provided with your detergent.

cleaning detergents.
Keep all detergents out of the reach of
children!
