SECTION 3 — COMPOSITION, INFORMATION ON INGREDIENTS
SECTION 4 — FIRST AID MEASURES
Immediately call a POISON CENTER or physician (P310).
If inhaled:Call a POISON CENTER or physician if you feel unwell (P304+P312). If in eyes: Rinse cautiously with water for several minutes. Remove contact lenses if present and easy to do so.
