| LiquiSmoke Tested Safe | ||||
| Please note that only people who are using LiquiSmoke will be exposed to the “raw” product. Even though LiquiSmoke is 100% safe, there may be items in the MSDS sheet that may cause concern. For example, Section IV (First Aid Measures), we are required to give these instructions although the likelihood of a user ever having any of the symptoms does not exist. What is really important on the MSDS sheet is Section III (Hazards Identification). Under “medical condition”, the National Toxicology Program (NTP), the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, (OSHA) and the Internatioanl Agency for Research on Cancer, (IARC) all list no medical conditions for LiquiSmoke. IARC makes special note that there are no carcinogenic dangers. To put it into perspective, some of the soda you drink can contain items considered carcinogenic; LiquiSmoke does not. You are exposed to greater dangers putting gas in your car or lawn mower than from handling LiquiSmoke. Once the raw LiquiSmoke is vaporized, it develops different characteristics. We hired a private, nationally recognized laboratory, Maxim Technologies, Inc, who with the help of the Wisconsin Occupational Health Laboratory tested our smoke. These tests were conclusive, there are NO dangers using LiquiSmoke. In every single category, including carbon monoxide, LiquiSmoke was tested at or well below the OSHA 8 hour Premissible Exposure Limit (PEL). Since it is the smoke your customers may be exposed to, these tests will assure them that there are no health concerns. However, you will need to warn your customers that although the smoke may be safe, it exposes possible infiltration of dangerous sewer gases. They should always be warned to evacuate a premise when smoke is detected. Finally, we had Maxim test our LiquiSmoke for staining and residue. Again the tests were conclusive; there is no staining and no residue caused by LiquiSmoke. You can rest assure that LiquiSmoke will not ruin furniture or drapery. 1.
