11 TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION
Risk: Causes burns. Risk of serious damage to eyes.
Health Effects:
Acute -
Swallowed: Because of its high alkalinity in the undiluted state,
Autodish SP is corrosive to the gastro-intestinal tract if
swallowed.

Corrosive to the eyes and skin on contact.
Inhalation: Inhalation risk is low if product is used as directed.
Health Effects –
Chronic:
Repeated or prolonged skin contact
may cause burns, swelling, blistering, dermatitis.
Toxicity Data: Not available for mixture.
Sodium metascilicate: oral (rat) LD50: 1153 mg/kg
