EFFECTS OF ACUTE EXPOSURE TO PRODUCT
Slightly hazardous in case of skin contact (irritant), of eye contact (irritant), of ingestion. Non-hazardous in case of inhalation. Skin: May cause irritation. Low
hazard for usual industrial handling. It does not readily penetrate the skin. Eyes: May cause mild eye irritation. Inhalation: Inhalation of mist or nebulized
particles of this material may cause respiratory tract irritation. Symptoms may include coughing, breathing difficulty, and chest pain. Ingestion: Ingestion of
large amounts may cause gastrointestinal tract irritation.
EFFECTS OF CHRONIC EXPOSURE TO PRODUCT
Repeated or prolonged exposure is not known to aggravate medical condition. Skin: While petrolatum is regarded by some to be biologically inert and
nonallergenic, there have some cases of allergic contact dermatits. Repeated skin contact with petrolatum induced changes at the cellular level in rabbits.
