2 鈥? Hazards Identification
Emergency Overview:
DANGER! Harmful or fatal if swallowed. Flammable aerosol. Contents under pressure. Avoid eye
contact. Use with adequate ventilation. Keep away from heat, sparks and all other sources of
ignition.
Symptoms of Overexposure:
Inhalation: High concentrations may cause nasal and respiratory irritation and central nervous
system effects such as headache, dizziness and nausea. Intentional abuse may be harmful or
fatal.
Skin Contact: Prolonged and/or repeated contact may produce mild irritation and defatting with
possible dermatitis.
Eye Contact: Contact may be mildly irritating to eyes. May cause redness and tearing.
Ingestion: This product has low oral toxicity. Swallowing may cause gastrointestinal irritation,
nausea, vomiting and diarrhea. The liquid contents are an aspiration hazard. If swallowed, can
enter the lungs and may cause chemical pneumonitis.
Chronic Effects: None expected.
Medical Conditions Aggravated by Exposure: Preexisting eye, skin and respiratory conditions
may be aggravated by exposure.

4 鈥? First Aid Measures
Ingestion (Swallowed): Aspiration Hazard. DO NOT induce vomiting. Call physician, poison
control center or the WD-40 Safety Hotline at 1-888-324-7596 immediately.
Eye Contact: Flush thoroughly with water. Get medical attention if irritation persists.
Skin Contact: Wash with soap and water. If irritation develops and persists, get medical
attention.

Inhalation (Breathing): If irritation is experienced, move to fresh air. Get medical attention if
irritation or other symptoms develop and persist.
5 鈥? Fire Fighting Measures
Extinguishing Media: Use water fog, dry chemical, carbon dioxide or foam. Do not use water jet
or flooding amounts of water. Burning product will float on the surface and spread fire.
Special Fire Fighting Procedures: Firefighters should always wear positive pressure self-
contained breathing apparatus and full protective clothing. Cool fire-exposed containers with
water. Use shielding to protect against bursting containers.
Unusual Fire and Explosion Hazards: Contents under pressure. Aerosol containers may burst
under fire conditions. Vapors are heavier than air and may travel along surfaces to remote ignition
sources and flash back.
6 鈥? Accidental Release Measures
Wear appropriate protective clothing (see Section 8). Eliminate all sources of ignition and
ventilate area. Leaking cans should be placed in a plastic bag or open pail until the pressure has
dissipated. Contain and collect liquid with an inert absorbent and place in a container for disposal.
Clean spill area thoroughly. Report spills to authorities as required.
7 鈥? Handling and Storage
Handling: Avoid contact with eyes. Avoid prolonged contact with skin. Avoid breathing vapors or
aerosols. Use with adequate ventilation. Keep away from heat, sparks, hot surfaces and open
flames. Wash thoroughly with soap and water after handling. Do not puncture or incinerate
containers. Keep can away from electrical current or battery terminals. Electrical arcing can cause
burn-through (puncture) which may result in flash fire, causing serious injury. Keep out of the
reach of children.
Storage: Do not store above 120掳F or in direct sunlight. U.F.C (NFPA 30B) Level 3 Aerosol.
