What makes a product hazardous?

A product is hazardous if it contains ingredients that make it flammable, reactive, corrosive, or poisonous. If a product is hazardous, one of these words will appear on the front or back label: caution, warning, danger, or poison. 

How to buy safer alternatives to hazardous household products

Carefully read the product label.

• Products that are safer do NOT have the words caution, warning, danger, or poison
• Products that are somewhat harmful have the words caution or warning
• Products that are the most harmful are labeled DANGER and POISON and should be avoided
