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 2 acute oral toxicity — classified as toxic if swallowed.
GHS Category 1 eye damage — classified as causing irreversible eye damage on contact.
If swallowed 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. No manufacturer SDS is on file, so it is translated from the ingredient chemistry. 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.
No Safety Data Sheet on file.
CarCareTruth has not received a Safety Data Sheet from the manufacturer for this product, so no GHS hazard classification can be cited. The tiers below are cautious defaults — “Beyond SDS” — translated from the product’s ingredient chemistry and how comparable formulations classify, not from a manufacturer hazard classification. Request an SDS from the manufacturer before use.

Scope of these PPE tiers. The tiers on this page translate the product's Safety Data Sheet where one is published, plus its ingredient chemistry, into a comparable rating. They describe a formulation, not a situation: a tier is not a safety determination for any specific user, task, quantity, or environment. The manufacturer's label and use instructions govern how the product is handled. Where the product is used at work, the employer's PPE program and hazard assessment under 29 CFR 1910.132 decide what protection is selected, not this page.

TL;DR A solvent-borne touch-up pen for small chips on black vehicles · the universal toner approximates most OEM blacks but reviews show visible color variation on UV-aged panels. Back label: DANGER with confirmed H318 eye-burn chemistry. Wear goggles; use outdoors or with the garage door open.
A felt-tip pen loaded with solvent-borne black paint. Uncap, touch the tip to the chip, and apply in short strokes; the felt tip limits overflow better than a brush bottle, though technique still matters on larger chips. Results are acceptable at arm's length on freshly-painted black paint, though owner reception is good, not great: owners note the universal toner diverges from aged or UV-faded OEM blacks. No clear coat is included, and multiple owners report fading within six to twelve months.
Best for small chips (under 3mm) on a daily driver with fresh factory black paint, where close-range visibility is acceptable. Skip it if the chip has reached bare metal · no primer is included and bare metal will rust. Also skip if the panel has visible UV fade; a paint-code-specific system will produce a better match.
The back label carries DANGER: eye-burn chemistry (H318 · serious eye damage), respiratory irritation with "do not breathe vapor" (H335), and skin sensitization risk (H317). Ingredients are all aromatic and aliphatic solvents; the label carries a Prop 65 warning. Wear goggles and gloves; apply in ventilated space. No SDS located · chemistry conclusions are from the back-label hazard statements only.
