The line under each statement translates the GHS classification into plain language.
- H304 “May be fatal if swallowed and enters airways.”
GHS Category 1 aspiration toxicity — thin, oily liquids can slip into the lungs if swallowed, causing chemical pneumonia.
- H350 “May cause cancer.”
GHS Category 1 carcinogenicity — classified as suspected of causing cancer with repeated or prolonged exposure.
- H360 “May damage fertility or the unborn child.”
GHS Category 1 reproductive toxicity — classified as suspected of damaging fertility or harming an unborn child.
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.

CarCareTruth's Analysis
Last reviewed May 26, 2026
TL;DR A capable all-in-1 touch-up pen for small solid-black chips — acceptable at normal viewing distance, visible on close inspection. DANGER signal word; the solvent load is significant — use outdoors or with the garage door open.
What it is and how it performs
The Dupli-Color Scratch Fix All-in-1 is a three-stage pen: an abrasive tip preps the chip, the paint pen fills it, and a brush-end cap seals with clear coat. On solid black paint the result blends adequately from a few feet; close inspection reveals the edge. On metallic black, mismatch is unavoidable — a pen cannot replicate metallic flake orientation. The 65% five-star rate across 23,000+ reviews validates it for solid-finish chip repair; some fading has been noted beyond 12 months.
Who should buy this — and who should skip it
Best for owners with small chips (3mm or less) on solid black paint who want a quick daily-driver repair. Skip it if the chip has reached bare metal (no primer included) or if the finish is metallic black, where flake-alignment mismatch will be visible regardless of color accuracy.
Safety and environmental impact
The SDS carries a DANGER signal word driven by health H-codes including a carcinogen (Cat 1A) and reproductive toxin (Cat 1B). California Prop 65 warnings apply for toluene and butyl benzyl phthalate. The H317 skin sensitizer classification warrants nitrile gloves for repeated use; H319 warrants safety glasses. Estimated VOC exceeds 550 g/L — ventilate the workspace; not CARB compliant.
