Warnings: From Label: KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN
DANGER: CORROSIVE. HARMFUL IF SWALLOWED.
May cause severe irritation or damage to eyes, skin and mucous membranes. Avoid contact with eyes, skin and clothing. Do not ingest. For prolonged use, wear gloves. Avoid breathing vapors and use only in a well ventilated area.

FIRST AID IF IN EYES: Rinse with plenty of water for 15 minutes. Get prompt medical attention. IF SWALLOWED-DO NOT induce vomiting. Drink a glassful of water. In either case, call a physician or poison control center immediately. SKIN-Remove contaminated clothing and wash skin thoroughly with water.

PHYSICAL OR CHEMICAL HAZARDS: Ultra Clorox Citrus Blend bleach contains a strong oxidizer. Always flush drains before and after use. Do not use or mix with other household products such as toilet bowl cleaners, rust removers, acids or products containing ammonia. To do so will release hazardous, irritating gases. Prolonged contact with metal may cause pitting or discoloration.

From MSDS:
CORROSIVE to the eyes. Injures eyes, skin and mucous membranes on contact. Harmful if swallowed; nausea, vomiting, and burning sensation of the mouth and throat may occur. No adverse health effects are expected with recommended use. Occasional clinical reports suggest a low potential for sensitization upon exaggerated exposure to Sodium Hypochlorite if skin damage (e.g. irritation) occurs during exposure. However, clinical tests conducted on intact skin with similar products found no sensitization in the test subjects.
Although not expected, heart conditions or chronic respiratory problems such as asthma, chronic bronchitis or obstructive lung disease may be aggravated by exposure to high concentrations of vapor or mist.
