Brake fluid can pollute the environment. Brake fluid that has leaked out must be
collected and disposed of properly, following all applicable environmental regulations.
Brake fluid is poisonous.
To reduce the risk of poisoning, never use food, beverage or
other non-original containers to store brake fluid. Someone
might be misled by the original label on the container, or by the
shape of the container, and drink the brake fluid. This could
occur even if you relabel the container as brake fluid.
Only store brake fluid in the closed, original container and
keep it out of the reach of children.
WARNING
Brake fluid will damage vehicle paint, plastic parts, and tires.
Wipe any brake fluid off vehicle paint and other vehicle parts
immediately.
