This document is prepared pursuant to the OSHA Hazard Communication Standard (29 CFR 1910.1200). Only those
ingredients composing >1% (>0.1% for carcinogens or suspect carcinogens) of the formula (w/w) and which have
hazards identified are listed. The exposure limits associated with calcium carbonate dust and glycerin mist are not
applicable to this product in the solid dosage form.
2. PHYSICAL DATA:
APPEARANCE: Brown elliptical tablet.
Other physical data have not been determined.
3. FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARD DATA:
This has not been evaluated.
EXTINGUISHING MEDIA: Water fog, alcohol foam, CO2, dry chemical.
SPECIAL FIRE FIGHTING PROCEDURES: A strong fire could cause evolution of toxic and flammable
trimethylamine from the choline chloride.
4. REACTIVITY DATA:
This has not been evaluated. The product is expected to be stable under normal storage conditions; avoid strong
oxidizers. Choline chloride is corrosive to steel, copper, brass and aluminum. The addition of alkaline material to
choline chloride will release choline base and trimethylamine.
Potassium chloride has the following incompatibilities. Contact with hot nitric acid may cause evolution of toxic
nitrosyl chloride. Contact with other strong acids may produce irritating hydrogen chloride gases. In presence of
moisture may be mildly corrosive to metals. Avoid contact with bromine trifluoride and potassium permanganate plus
sulfuric acid. Oxides of the contained metal and chlorine are hazardous decomposition products.
5. ENVIRONMENTAL AND DISPOSAL INFORMATION:
ACTION TO TAKE FOR SPILLS/LEAKS: Sweep up and dispose of in DOT-approved waste containers. Keep out of
sewers, storm drains, surface waters and soil.
DISPOSAL METHOD: Dispose of contaminated product and materials used in cleaning up spills or leaks in a
manner approved for this material. Consult appropriate federal, state and local regulatory agencies to ascertain
proper disposal procedures.
6. HEALTH HAZARD DATA:
EYE: This product is not expected to irritate the eyes.
SKIN CONTACT: This product is not expected to irritate the skin.
INGESTION: This has not been evaluated.

INHALATION: Inhalation exposure under normal conditions of use is not likely to cause adverse effects, however
irritation may occur if use conditions generate dust.
Dicalcium Phosphate--Oral LD50 (rat): 10,000 mg/kg; Dermal LD50 (rabbit): >7940 mg/kg
Choline Chloride 60% Powder--Oral LD50 (rat): 6640 mg/kg; I.P. LD50 (rat): 400 mg/kg;
Glycerin--Oral LD50 (rat): 17-27.2 g/kg; Rabbit (dermal): 500 mg/24 hr moderate irritation.
SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS OF EXPOSURE: Choline Chloride 60% Powder: Possible liver effects, kidney effects,
gastrointestinal complications, nausea, vomiting, headache, skin irritation or rash, eye irritation, tearing or blurring of
vision.
Glycerin: Repeated excessive exposure may cause kidney and liver effects, and increased fat levels in blood.
Observations in animals include gastrointestinal irritation with very large oral doses. Birth defects are unlikely.
Exposures having no adverse effects on the mother should have no effect on the fetus. Reproduction studies indicate
that glycerin does not directly interfere with reproduction in animals. When animals were maintained on synthetic
diets or dosed at extremely high levels, reproduction in females was affected -- perhaps due to altered nutritional
states.
Potassium Chloride: May cause temporary eye irritation. May be irritating to skin of susceptible persons, particularly
in cuts or open wounds. Repeated or prolonged contact may cause dermatitis. May be irritating to nose and throat
3
upon inhalation. High concentrations of dust (up to 2000 mg/m ) may cause perforation of the nasal septum. Long
term exposure to high concentrations could cause chronic cough and mild bronchitis. There is no evidence of
permanent lung damage. Ingestion of a large amount may cause irritation of the gastrointestinal tract, cramps,
diarrhea, tingling of hands or feet, weak pulse and circulatory disturbances. Oral LD50 (rat): 3020 mg/kg; Eye
Irritation (rabbit): 500 mg/24 hr: Severe irritant. RTECS, 1982, cites a mutation reference.
7. FIRST AID:
EYES: Immediately flush eyes with copious amounts of running water for 15 minutes.
SKIN: Wash with soap and water.
INGESTION: SEEK MEDICAL ATTENTION IMMEDIATELY. Treatment is by gastric lavage or emesis.
INHALATION: If a person has been exposed to excessive quantities of dust due to mishaps, move the person to
fresh air. Give artificial respiration if not breathing.
Seek medical attention immediately if excessive exposure occurs.
8. HANDLING PRECAUTIONS:
There is no OSHA PEL or ACGIH TLV for this product. Under normal conditions of use, no special handling
precautions are required in areas with adequate ventilation. However, under conditions of prolonged exposure in
which quantities of dust are generated, mechanical ventilation, safety glasses with side shields, gloves and a NIOSH
approved dust respirator are recommended.
SPECIAL PRECAUTIONS TO BE TAKEN IN HANDLING AND STORAGE: Exercise reasonable care and caution.
