Health Hazards Acute and Chronic:SPILLED PELLETS CREATE SLIPPING
    HAZARD. CAN BURN IN A FIRE, CREATING DENSE, TOXIC SMOKE. MOLTEN
    PLASTIC CAN CAUSE SEVERE THERMAL BURNS. FUMES PRODUCED DURING MELT
    PROCESSING MAY CAUSE EYE, SKIN AND RE SPIRATORY TRACT IRRITATION.
    SECONDARY OPERATIONS, SUCH AS GRINDING, SANDING OR SAWING CAN
    PRODUCE DUST WHICH MAY PRESENT AN EXPLOSION OR RESPIRATORY HAZARD. 
    POTENTIAL HEALTH EFFECTS: EYE: MAY CAUSE I RRITATION OR INJURY DUE
    TO MECHANICAL ACTION. SKIN: PELLETS NOT LIKELY TO CAUSE SKIN
    IRRITATION. INGESTION: NOT ACUTELY TOXIC. INHALATION: PELLET
    INHALATION UNLIKELY DUE TO PHYSICAL FORM. PROCESSING F UMES MAY
    CAUSE  (OVEREXPOSURE)
Effects of Overexposure:ACUTE/CHRONIC (CONT'D): IRRITATION TO EYES,
    SKIN AND RESPIRATORY TRACT AND IN CASES OF SEVERE OVEREXPOSURE,
    NAUSEA AND HEADACHE. GREASE-LIKE PROCESSING FUME CONDENSATES ON
    VENTILATION DUCT WORK, MOLDS  AND OTHER SURFACES CAN CAUSE
    IRRITATIONAND INJURY TO SKIN. CHRONIC/CARCINOGENICITY: NOTE--OSHA,
    IARC, AND/OR NTP HAVE LISTED CARBON BLACK AND HEAVY METALS, PRESENT
    IN SOME COLORANTS, AS CARCINOGENS.IF THESE COLORANTS ARE PRESENT
    IN THIS PRODUCT, THEY ARE SHOWN IN INGREDIENTS. THESE COLORANTS ARE
    ESPECIALLY BOUND TO THE PLASTIC MATRIX AND ARE UNLIKELY TO
    CONTRIBUTE TO WORKPLACE EXPOSURE UNDER REC OMMENDED PROCESSING
    CONDITIONS.
Medical Cond Aggravated by Exposure:THERE ARE NO KNOWN HUMAN HEALTH
    EFFECTS AGGRAVATED BY EXPOSURE TO THIS PRODUCT. HOWEVER, CERTAIN
    SENSITIVE INDIVIDUALS AND INDIVIDUALS WITH RESPIRATORY IMPAIRMENTS
    MAY BE AFFECTED BY EXPOSURE (FED REG)
*  First Aid Measures  *
First Aid:EYES: REMOVE CONTACT LENSES AT ONCE. IMMEDIATELY FLUSH EYES
    WELL WITH COPIOUS QUANTITIES OF WATER OR NORMAL SALINE FOR AT LEAST
    WASH SK IN THOROUGHLY W/ SOAP & WATER. SEEK MED ATTEN IF RASH OR
    BURN OCCURS. INGEST: NOT PROBABLE. IF LARGE AMOUNT IS SWALLOWED,
    SEEK MED ATTEN. INHAL: NOT LIKELY TO BE INHALED DUE TO PHYSICAL
    FORM. MELT PRO CESSING: FOR MOLTEN PLASTIC SKIN CONTACT, COOL
    RAPIDLY W/WATER & IMMEDIATELY SEEK MED ATTEN. DO NOT ATTEMPT
    REMOVAL OF PLASTIC WITHOUT MED ASSISTANCE. DO NOT USE SOLVENT FOR
    REMOVAL. FOR PROCESSING FU ME INHALATION IRRITATION (STATE REGS)
