From the manufacturer’s Safety Data Sheet, Section 8
“SDS Section 2 classifies the mixture as Eye Irritation Cat 2A (H319). Per carb-cleaner rubric PPE table, H319 without H318 places eyes at situational · aerosol mist can cause temporary eye irritation on direct contact. SDS Section 8 specifies safety glasses or goggles as protective equipment when there is risk of aerosol mist contact with eyes.”

From the manufacturer’s Safety Data Sheet, Section 8
“SDS Section 2 does not classify skin irritation (no H315 or H314 at the mixture level). Aerosol form factor warrants mention for repeated or prolonged handling, but chemistry does not force a recommended or required skin-protection tier. SDS Section 8 recommends protective gloves for repeated or extended contact as a general precaution.”

TL;DR Mopar's OEM aerosol cleaner handles carbon and gum on throttle bodies, carburetors, chokes, and PCV valves. Owners confirm single-pass carbon removal. DANGER signal word is real: SDS classifies this as extremely flammable with narcosis hazard (H336). Eye and lung protection are chemistry-forced minimums. CARB compliance is an exempt-solvent accounting result. No O2-sensor-safe or cat-safe claims on the label.
Spray into the bore or carburetor passage in short bursts, let the fast-evaporating solvent dissolve carbon and gum, then blow out with compressed air. Owners report single-pass removal on Mopar throttle bodies and carburetor passages. No independent forum before/after threads exist for this SKU, which keeps the cleaning efficacy score from reaching the top tier.
Right buy for a Mopar or Stellantis owner who wants an OEM-issued aerosol for routine throttle body or carburetor service. Skip it for heavily varnished carbs (a dip solution works better) or if you specifically need a verified O2-sensor-safe or cat-safe cleaner; no such claim exists for this product.
DANGER is driven by H319 and H336 (inhalation narcosis) alongside extreme flammability. SDS Section 8 directs safety glasses and a well-ventilated area. The label carries a California Prop 65 warning; SDS Section 15 confirms benzene as a trace impurity. CARB compliance is an exempt-solvent accounting outcome. No aquatic toxicity H-codes at the SDS Section 2 mixture level.
Yes. The product label and listing explicitly include carburetors, chokes, linkages, and PCV valves alongside throttle bodies. The fast-evaporating solvent formula dissolves gum and carbon deposits regardless of the component. This dual-use positioning is why CarCareTruth scores it under the carb-cleaner category rather than throttle-body-cleaner, where an explicit O2-sensor-safe claim would be required.
The SDS Section 10 does not list rubber or plastic compatibility specifically. Community reports note that nylon and rubber hoses tolerate brief overspray, but ABS plastic compatibility varies. Brief spray applications are typical for throttle body cleaning; prolonged soak exposure to solvent can swell some rubber compounds, so avoid extended contact times.
The SDS (Section 15) identifies benzene as a trace impurity present as a carcinogen and reproductive toxin trigger for Prop 65. Benzene is a standard petrochemical impurity in the solvent fractions used; its concentration is below formulated-product disclosure thresholds, but Mopar's compliance position is to display the Prop 65 warning on the rear label.
Yes. The product listing states it meets CARB automotive product VOC standards. This compliance result derives from the primary solvent being exempt under the California Consumer Products Regulation for the carb-cleaner category. Absolute solvent emissions remain high because the exempt solvent comprises the overwhelming majority of the formula. CARB compliance here is a regulatory-accounting outcome, not an indicator of low total solvent emissions.
The SDS for successor part numbers 68628279AA and 68621322AA (Chemwatch v5.8, 2022-10-12) was sourced from an archived copy of a Petra Automotive Products distributor page after the original URL returned a 404 error. CarCareTruth has the SDS on file and scoring is derived directly from this document. The Mopar SDS portal returns an access error for this product; a re-fetch from a public source should be attempted in 2027.
