The manufacturer's Safety Data Sheet classifies this product with one or more GHS Category 1 health hazards — the most severe tier. The hazard statements in quotes below are the verbatim GHS language from the SDS, as required by OSHA's Hazard Communication Standard. The line under each statement translates the GHS classification into plain language.
GHS Category 1 aspiration toxicity — thin, oily liquids can slip into the lungs if swallowed, causing chemical pneumonia.
If swallowed, inhaled, or splashed in eyes:
Call Poison Control immediately at 1-800-222-1222 (US, 24/7, free) and have the product container with you. Poison Control's standing guidance is to not induce vomiting after chemical exposure; they will direct first-aid steps based on the specific product.
About this product's hazards. This product's Safety Data Sheet uses signal word danger. Read the manufacturer's SDS and follow all safety instructions before use. CarCareTruth ratings translate the manufacturer's safety sheet. They do not replace the SDS or substitute for a hazard assessment specific to your task.
Health score is for adult use as intended, per the manufacturer's SDS. It does not model child ingestion, accidental spill cleanup, or off-label use. See the safety panel below for full hazard classification, and /disclaimer for the full editorial scope.

From the manufacturer’s Safety Data Sheet, Section 8
“No H318 or H319 in SDS §2 mixture-level GHS classification. SDS §8 calls for protective eyewear using an imperative not backed by a mixture-level eye-hazard H-code -- editorial_override to situational. Aerosol mist during spray or overhead application is the specific trigger.”

From the manufacturer’s Safety Data Sheet, Section 8
“No H314, H315, or H317 in SDS §2 mixture-level classification. SDS §8 calls for nitrile or butyl gloves 'if prolonged skin contact is likely' -- conditional language matching a situational tier. Brief application contact is low-risk; prolonged exposure allows the petroleum carrier to defat skin.”

From the manufacturer’s Safety Data Sheet, Section 8
“No H335, H334, H331, or H330 in SDS §2. SDS §8 states 'Normally no personal respiratory protection is necessary' -- an explicit de-escalation. Aerosol form factor requires minimum situational; the enclosed-space trigger applies given propane/butane propellant and petroleum-distillate mist in a closed garage.”

TL;DR Standard aerosol white lithium grease for door hinges, garage tracks, and latches; well-reviewed by owners for eliminating squeaks. The DANGER label comes from an aspiration hazard if the product is swallowed (do not induce vomiting), plus a flammable propellant, not from a contact hazard. No California Prop 65 per SDS Section 15.
B'laster 16-LG deposits a thick white grease film on metal contact points. Press the aerosol straw into a hinge joint, track channel, or latch cam and apply a short burst -- the carrier flashes off and the grease stays put. Zinc oxide below 1% adds corrosion protection. No NLGI grade or numeric temperature rating is published; the label claims extreme temperature suitability without a spec. Owners broadly confirm consistent performance on hinges, tracks, and latches with no documented pattern of rapid re-squeak.
Right for garage door tracks, exterior door hinges, hood and trunk latches, and any metal slider under repeated load. Skip it for rubber seals and most plastics -- the petroleum carrier can degrade rubber over time. Use silicone spray for rubber and plastic contact surfaces; use dielectric grease for electrical connectors.
The DANGER signal word covers two separate hazards: aspiration toxicity if the product is swallowed (petroleum-distillate carrier; do not induce vomiting), and the flammable LPG propellant (keep away from ignition sources). SDS Section 8 states "Normally no personal respiratory protection is necessary." Eye and skin PPE are situational -- aerosol mist and prolonged handling are the triggers. No Prop 65 substances per SDS Section 15. The aerosol propellant contributes meaningful VOC; the stay-on-car application pathway limits environmental exposure, placing the environmental score in the Average band.
Yes -- garage door tracks are one of the labeled use cases. The aerosol straw allows targeted application to the roller contact points without flooding the track. Apply a short burst along the metal track and wipe off excess.
The DANGER signal word covers two separate hazards. H304 (aspiration) means the petroleum-distillate carrier can cause lung damage if swallowed and aspirated -- do not induce vomiting if ingested. The flammable LPG propellant codes (H221, H227) mean the can is pressurized and flammable -- keep away from open flames, heat sources, and sparks. SDS Section 8 explicitly states 'Normally no personal respiratory protection is necessary.' The DANGER label reflects swallowing and fire risks, not a contact hazard during normal use.
No. SDS Section 15 explicitly lists 'None' under California Proposition 65. This product does not carry a Prop 65 cancer or reproductive harm warning per the manufacturer's GHS filing. Some product listings may show a generic Prop 65 flag from the retailer's automated system, but SDS Section 15 is the authoritative source.
No -- white lithium grease is for metal-on-metal contact: hinges, tracks, latches, and gears. The petroleum carrier can degrade rubber seals over time with prolonged contact. Use silicone spray for rubber or plastic contact surfaces; use dielectric grease for electrical connectors.
Both are aerosol white lithium greases with petroleum-distillate carriers and DANGER signal words driven by the aspiration hazard, and neither carries a Prop 65 warning. B'laster 16-LG uses LPG propellant (propane/butane) and includes zinc oxide as a corrosion inhibitor. WD-40 Specialist White Lithium uses a calcium sulfonate additive and publishes a VOC of approximately 217 g/L. Both are comparable performers for garage door tracks and door hinges.
