IF SWALLOWED:
Ingestion is not a likely route of exposure to this product.
Irritation of Gastrointestinal Tissues: signs/symptoms can include
pain, vomiting, abdominal tenderness, nausea, blood in vomitus, and
blood in feces.
CANCER:
WARNING: Contains a chemical which can cause cancer. (CERAMIC FIBERS)
(IARC possible human carcinogen 2B, Calif. Proposition 65)
Due to their large size, Nextel(TM) Ceramic Fibers are considered to
be non-respirable and, therefore, unlikely to pose a cancer risk.
Respirable fibers are defined by the World Health Organization as
having lengths greater than 5 microns, diameters less than 3 microns
and length-to-diameter ratios greater than 3:1. Nextel(TM) Ceramic
Fibers have diameters of 7 to 13 microns and are continuous in
length.
