Fix-A-Flat S60420 Aerosol Emergency Tire Sealant

Translated from the manufacturer’s Safety Data Sheet, Section 2

Section 2 classifies this product Skin Sensitization Category 1 (H317, 'may cause an allergic skin reaction'), driven by the MIT preservative at the label's SCL threshold, and Section 11 confirms real reported effects (redness, itching, rash). Section 8.3 calls for chemical-resistant gloves and the label (P280, P302+P352) instructs washing exposed skin. Since this is a genuine product-level sensitizer classification, not just an ingredient-trace note, gloves are a real precaution for standard use, not only for people already sensitized.

U.S. regulatory standard

29 CFR 1910.138(a); 1910.132(d)

“appropriate hand protection when employees' hands are exposed to hazards such as those from skin absorption of harmful substances.”

OSHA standards apply to workplaces. Cited here as the U.S. reference threshold for the underlying hazard class.

UN GHS hazard statement

“May cause an allergic skin reaction”

UN GHS Rev. 9 (2021)

Translated from the manufacturer’s Safety Data Sheet, Section 8

Section 8.3 recommends respiratory protection where inhalation exposure may occur from use, and the label's P261 instructs 'Avoid breathing spray' as a standing precaution on every application, not a conditional one. Section 11 reports genuine inhalation symptoms (shortness of breath, chest tightness, sore throat, cough), and Section 6 notes the CO2 propellant can displace oxygen in an enclosed space. No H330, H331, or H334 appears in the Section 2 mixture classification, so this stops short of required, but the spray-use case calls for more than a situational note: use outdoors or in a well-ventilated area and avoid breathing the mist.
