 2. Composition/Information on Ingredients

*Hydroquinone represents <3% of the royal blue polymer dye and is thus included as an ingredient..
Ingredients not precisely identified are proprietary and/or non-hazardous per 29 CFR 1910-1200 and/or represent less than 1%... All chemical ingredients appear on the EPA TSCA inventory.

 3. Hazards Identification

Emergency Overview: The microorganisms used in this product are BioSafety Class 1 microorganisms, as defined by the Centers for Disease Control as unlikely to cause disease in healthy humans or animals. However, persons with compromised immune systems should avoid contact with open wounds and/or breathing dust or mist from manufacturing processes. These organisms are susceptible to many commonly used antibiotics, and Alken-Murray is willing to supply antibiotic sensitivity information to any doctor or import health authority requesting it. Because surfactants are included, primary skin irritation under 29CFR 1910.1200 is considered possible, as is true of many shampoos that contain the same surfactants. Although bacterial cultures included in this product were grown in a sterile aqueous medium containing a variety of nutrients, including corn syrup solids, digests of soybean and/or skim milk, glucose or other sugars, vegetable oils, including olive oil, yeast extract, mineral salts, etc., the concentrations of these residual nutrients are believed to be below levels capable of triggering any irritation.

Potential Health Effects:

Signs and Symptoms of Acute Overexposure: .Eye, skin irritation Signs and Symptoms of Chronic overexposure: .Dermatitis and skin sensitization Medical Conditions Generally Aggravated by Exposure: . Allergies, dermatitis. d-Limonene is included on the SCCNP List B of Fragrance Allergy in Consumers & The EU Cosmetics Directive Ingestion: May result in abdominal pain, nausea and vomiting.

• Carcinogenicity:

ACGIH-A3 Hydroquinone, CAS# 123-31-9 "confirmed animal carcinogen". Not listed on IARC, NIOSH, OSHA or NTP.

IARC-Group 3: d-Limonene:& Isopropyl alcohol -"animal carcinogen"These are not listed on ACGIH, NIOSH, OSHA or NTP.

Other ingredients are NOT found on any lists published by ACGIH, IARC, NIOSH, NTP or OSHA

Environmental Fate: This product is not likely to bio-concentrate, if mixed with water.

Environmental Toxicity: Surfactants are harmful to aquatic life in low concentrations. Undiluted concentrate of CF 5200 could cause suffocation of fish by blocking their ability to assimilate oxygen. Coconut based surfactants including CAS# 6178-40-0, 68140-00-1 and 9004-80-4 present low volatility and an aquatic LC50 of 0.2 to 59 mg, and since the included bacteria use them as a food source, minimal environmental impact is expected

Aquatic Ecotoxicity of Individual Ingredients: 1,2 benzisothiazolin-3-one, CAS# 2634-33-1(<1%) is VERY toxic to aquatic organisms (Fish, LC50, 4 days exposure = 1.0 - 3.3 ppm. Crustaceans (Daphnia magna) EC50 immobilization = 2 days exposure 0.85 ppm. CAS# 123-31-9, Hydroxyquinone (<0.1%): Rainbow Trout LC50 = 0.097 mg/L; 96H, Fathead Minnow LC50 = 0.1 - 0.18 mg/L, 96H, Hydroxyquinone will biodegrade easily.

Biodegradability: CAS# 2634-33-1 will biodegrade by 81.9% within 20 days. . Plant-based surfactants (coconut, orange and Yucca in CF 5200) are easily biodegraded by the Bacillus included in this formula.
