Liver and kidney effects were reported in rats after repeated exposure to dioctyl adipate in their diet.
Effects on litter size and weights reported in the offspring of rats in a one generation reproduction study.
No effects on male or female fertility were reported. Birth defects were reported in the offspring of rats
given dioctyl adipate in their diet during gestation. Liver tumors were reported in mice after repeated
exposure to dioctyl adipate in their diet. DOA is classified as Class 3, Not Classifiable as to
