Carbon tetrachloride is a cellular toxin that produces cellular destruction throughout the body, especially in the liver, kidney, and central nervous system. It is toxic by all routes of exposure: inhalation, absorption, skin contact, and oral ingestion. Although uniquely potent, carbon tetrachloride is in many respects representative of a large class of related chlorinated hydrocarbon solvents.
Disposal: If you find a product containing carbon tetrachloride, secure and hold for professional household hazardous waste collection or give it to a licensed hazardous waste handler.
