 The tire sealant can cause health damage
if swallowed. If you accidentally swallow
it, drink as much water as possible and
immediately seek medical attention.

your skin, rinse it away with lots of water.
If you still sense an abnormality, seek
medical attention.
 Consult a doctor immediately if any aller-
gic reactions occur.
 Do not allow children to touch the tire
sealant.
CAUTION
 If the vehicle body is contaminated by the
