<br />The ingredient(s) of this product is (are) not classed as carcinogenic by ACGIH, IARC, OSHA or NTP.
<br />Reproductive Data:
<br />This product: No adverse reproductive effects are anticipated.
<br />Mutagenicity Data:
<br />No adverse mutagenic effects are anticipated.
<br />Teratogenicity Data:
<br />No adverse teratogenic effects are anticipated.

<br />Data:
<br />Synergistic Materials:
<br />Alcohols may interact synergistically with chlorinated solvents (example - carbon tetrachloride,
<br />chloroform, bromotrichloromethane), dithiocarbamates (example - disulfiram), dimethyinitrosamine and
<br />thioacetamide. (4)
<br />Carbon Bisulphide: The toxic effects of Carbon Bisulphide, particularly on the nervous system, can be
<br />intensified by consumption of alcohol, alcoholism, treatment with disulfiram (Antibuse), and exposure to
<br />Hydrogen Sulphide. (4) In animal studies the toxicity of Carbon Bisulphide was intensified by chemicals
<br />such as resperine and amphetamine which act on the nervous system. (4)
<br />Other Studies Relevant to
