Hazard

The product contains chloroform (measured value 59.6 % by weight). Chloroform in high doses causes skin irritation and can damage health if inhaled or swallowed. In addition, the product lacks the appropriate labelling and language as well as a tactile warning of danger and child-resistant fastening. The user therefore has no information to avoid the dangers incurred when the product comes into contact with the skin or the eyes, or if it is ingested. The product does not comply with the REACH Regulation and with the classification, labelling and packaging (CLP) Regulation.
