WHAT IS TOXIC

WHAT
IS TOXIC

            Today's modern convinces include many natural and manmade
products to give us a higher standard of living.  When purchasing these products, there is a
personal responsibility to pick and choose the product that combines proper
safety and environmental protection for the usage needed.  Most people are not aware of the level of
toxicity a product has when using it. 
The general public also is not aware that the government has given us a
standard code of toxicity on which each product is measured.  The level of toxicity must be put on the
front of the label on any non food product produced.

            The level of toxicity each product measures are found on
the label of the product in the form of a SIGNAL WORD.  This SIGNAL WORD indicates how potentially
dangerous this product is to humans and other animals.  Knowing the product's level of toxicity can
help you choose wisely and take the proper precautionary measures for handling
and using the product.

            The SIGNAL WORD must appear in large letters on the front
panel of the label, immediately following the statement "Keep Out of the Reach
of Children", which also appears on all product labels.

            These are the four levels of toxicity and the SIGNAL
WORDS for each level.

            DANGER      This word signals that the product is
highly toxic.  A taste to a teaspoonful
of the undiluted product, taken by mouth, could kill an average sized (175 lb.)
adult.  Any product which is highly toxic,
orally, dermal or through inhalation, or which causes severe eye and skin
burning will be labeled  DANGER.

            WARNING    This word signals that the product is
moderately toxic.  As little as a
teaspoon to an ounce of the undiluted product, taken by mouth, could kill an
average sized (175 lb.) adult.  Any
product which is moderately toxic orally, dermal or through inhalation, or
causes moderate eye and skin irritation, will be labeled WARNING.

            CAUTION     This word signals that the product is
slightly toxic.  An ounce to a pint of
the undiluted product, taken by mouth, could kill an average sized (175 lb.)
adult.  Any product which is slightly
toxic orally, dermal, or through inhalation, or causes slight eye and skin
irritation, will be labeled  CAUTION.

            NO SIGNAL WORD            The absence of a signal word
indicates that the product is almost non toxic, less than lightly toxic.  Much more than a pint of undiluted product,
taken by mouth, would be needed to kill an average sized (175 lb.) adult.  This also indicates that the product has
little or no toxicity to dermal or inhalation poisoning and does not have much
or any eye or skin irritation.
