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 skin corrosion — classified as causing irreversible skin damage on contact.
GHS Category 1 eye damage — classified as causing irreversible eye damage on contact.
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.
GHS hazard codes are quoted from the manufacturer’s Safety Data Sheet. PPE tiers below translate those codes and the listed ingredient chemistry; they are not CarCareTruth recommendations.

From the manufacturer’s Safety Data Sheet, Section 8
“H318 serious eye damage Cat 1 is present in SDS §2 · the SDS classification means splash contact can cause irreversible eye damage. Chemical splash goggles are indicated.”
— Meguiar's
U.S. regulatory standard
29 CFR 1910.133(a)(1); 1910.151(c)
“The employer shall ensure that each affected employee uses appropriate eye or face protection when exposed to eye or face hazards from… liquid chemicals, acids or caustic liquids…”
ANSI Z87.1 (chemical splash protection — incorporated via §1910.6)
OSHA standards apply to workplaces. Cited here as the U.S. reference threshold for the underlying hazard class.

From the manufacturer’s Safety Data Sheet, Section 8
“H314 skin corrosion Cat 1 is present in SDS §2 at the mixture level · the SDS classification means contact with the liquid base can cause tissue destruction.”
— Meguiar's
U.S. regulatory standard
29 CFR 1910.132; 1910.133; 1910.138; 1910.151(c)
“Where the eyes or body of any person may be exposed to injurious corrosive materials, suitable facilities for quick drenching or flushing of the eyes and body shall be provided within the work area for immediate emergency use.”
ANSI Z87.1 (eye/face — incorporated via §1910.6)
OSHA standards apply to workplaces. Cited here as the U.S. reference threshold for the underlying hazard class.

From the manufacturer’s Safety Data Sheet, Section 8
“H335 respiratory irritation and H370 STOT Cat 1 (target organ: respiratory system) are both present in SDS §2 · the aerosol propellant format increases inhalation exposure relative to pump-spray. The SDS classification in an enclosed vehicle cabin is a documented inhalation pathway, not boilerplate.”
— Meguiar's
U.S. regulatory standard
29 CFR 1910.134; 1910.138; 1910.1000
“the primary objective shall be to prevent atmospheric contamination… When effective engineering controls are not feasible… appropriate respirators shall be used.”
OSHA standards apply to workplaces. Cited here as the U.S. reference threshold for the underlying hazard class.

Workplace context
29 CFR 1910.134(a); 1910.1000
“the primary objective shall be to prevent atmospheric contamination [via] accepted engineering control measures (for example, enclosure or confinement of the operation, general and local ventilation, and substitution with less toxic materials).”

TL;DR Works on general car carpet soiling and upholstery stains using the built-in brush · no wet-vac required. Pet odor masking only: no enzyme chemistry in the SDS means urine odors return when the fragrance fades. DANGER: GHS H314 skin corrosion and H318 serious eye damage · the SDS classifications indicate chemical splash goggles and nitrile gloves. Not for leather, suede, or Alcantara.
Aerosol foam with an integrated brush in the cap · spray, agitate, blot, no extractor needed. The strongly alkaline formula breaks down protein and oil-based soiling through chemical action, not enzyme digestion. Owners confirm solid results on food, drink, and tracked-in dirt. No named enzyme chemistry means pet urine odor is fragrance-masked only · expect it to resurface.
A workable pick for routine carpet and upholstery soiling when the foam-brush convenience matters and full PPE is on hand. Buyers targeting pet urine at the source need a dedicated enzyme formula with urease. Leather, suede, Alcantara, and clear plastic are off-limits · the strongly alkaline formula will damage them.
SDS DANGER · H314 skin corrosion Cat 1, H318 serious eye damage Cat 1, H335 respiratory irritation, H370 STOT Cat 1 (respiratory system). Flammability codes H222 and H229 are physical-hazard classifications from the aerosol propellant; the DANGER signal word is driven by the health-hazard codes only. Aerosol application inside the vehicle cabin is an enclosed-space inhalation scenario · SDS §8 specifies ventilation. Prop 65 warning per product listing data. No aquatic toxicity in SDS §2; clean base chemistry gives a solid environment score despite the drain-destined pathway.
No · these are separate products with separate SDS documents and different hazard classifications. The G191419 aerosol has a more severe hazard profile: H314 skin corrosion and H318 serious eye damage are added versus the G9719. The DANGER signal word and pH 11.5·12.5 apply to the G191419 only. Do not cross-apply safety data between them.
Community owners confirm it works with the integrated brush applicator and blotting · no wet-vac required for routine soiling. The aerosol foam format delivers controlled product directly to the surface, which limits over-saturation.
No. The back label explicitly states not for use on leather, suede, or clear plastic. The pH 11.5·12.5 is outside the safe range for pH-sensitive materials including Alcantara.
No enzyme chemistry is disclosed in SDS §3 or on the product label. The 'Re-Fresher Technology' odor claim is a marketing term with no named active chemistry. Odor reduction is from physical cleaning, not enzymatic neutralization at the molecular source.
