Toxicity to Animals
This product may contain small amounts of vinyl acetate, vapors of which have been shown to cause
Chronic Effects on Humans
tumors in the thyroid gland, uterus, and respiratory tract of laboratory animals. There is no evidence
that it has caused cancer in humans.
A component of this product has been tested for potential reproductive and teratogenic effects. When
administered orally to rats and mice at doses which produced toxic effects in the mother, tissue and
skeletal malformations were noted. However, no effects were seen in the rabbits treated with this
compound.
This product contains a chemical that is a suspected endocrine disrupter. Endocrine/hormone
disrupters are external agents that interfere in some way with the role of natural hormones in the body.
While a variety of chemicals have been found to cause endocrine disruption in laboratory animals,
adverse effects in humans have not been established. (US EPA Special Report on Endocrine
Disruption, February 1997.)
No additional information.

Humans
Special Remarks on Toxicity No additional remark.
to Animals
Special Remarks on Chronic Vinyl acetate is metabolized to acetaldehyde, which has an IARC 2B (possibly carcinogenic to humans)
Effects on Humans classification, it has also been listed in Category 2B. May contain traces of formaldehyde;
formaldehyde is classified 2A by IARC (probable human carcinogen).
