eyes. Non-hazardous in case of ingestion. Non-hazardous in case of inhalation.

CARCINOGENIC EFFECTS: Classified + (PROVEN) by OSHA [Basic fuchsin]. Classified 2B (Possible for

human.) by IARC [Basic fuchsin]. Classified 2 (Reasonably anticipated.) by NTP [Basic fuchsin].

DEVELOPMENTAL TOXICITY: PROVEN [Ethyl alcohol 200 Proof]

The substance is toxic to lungs, mucous membranes, the reproductive system.

Repeated or prolonged exposure to the substance can produce target organs damage. Repeated exposure to an

highly toxic material may produce general deterioration of health by an accumulation in one or many human

organs.

Section 4: First Aid Measures

Eye Contact:

Check for and remove any contact lenses. Immediately flush eyes with running water for at least 15 minutes,

keeping eyelids open. Cold water may be used. Do not use an eye ointment. Seek medical attention.

Skin Contact:

If the chemical got onto the clothed portion of the body, remove the contaminated clothes as quickly as possible,

protecting your own hands and body. Place the victim under a deluge shower. If the chemical got on the victim's

exposed skin, such as the hands : Gently and thoroughly wash the contaminated skin with running water and

non-abrasive soap. Be particularly careful to clean folds, crevices, creases and groin. Cold water may be used.

If irritation persists, seek medical attention. Wash contaminated clothing before reusing.

Serious Skin Contact:

Wash with a disinfectant soap and cover the contaminated skin with an anti-bacterial cream. Seek immediate

medical attention.

Inhalation: Allow the victim to rest in a well ventilated area. Seek immediate medical attention.

Serious Inhalation:

Evacuate the victim to a safe area as soon as possible. Loosen tight clothing such as a collar, tie, belt or

waistband. If breathing is difficult, administer oxygen. If the victim is not breathing, perform mouth-to-mouth

resuscitation. WARNING: It may be hazardous to the person providing aid to give mouth-to-mouth resuscitation

when the inhaled material is toxic, infectious or corrosive. Seek immediate medical attention.

Ingestion:

Do not induce vomiting. Examine the lips and mouth to ascertain whether the tissues are damaged, a possible

indication that the toxic material was ingested; the absence of such signs, however, is not conclusive. Loosen

tight clothing such as a collar, tie, belt or waistband. If the victim is not breathing, perform mouth-to-mouth

resuscitation. Seek immediate medical attention.

Serious Ingestion: Not available.
