Winnie, Firstly, the link you gave is for the laundry detergent rather than the multi purpose stain remover. Secondly, and more importantly, it seems that you will go to extreme measures, including taking statements COMPLETELY out of context, to make it 'appear' that you are 'right'. Your post below would be an example of this:

To the extent the product is used in a fashion typical to that of a consumer, protective measures, with the exception of those indicated on the label, ar normally not necessary. Where case conditions and or extent and durantion of exposure differ from typical consumer use, however, appropriate protective measures to prevent eye and prolonged skin contact (glasses goggles, rubber gloves, protective clothing and minimize inhalation exposure (engineering controls NIOSH approved respiratory protection are recommended)." It is fairly obvious that the second part of the disclaimer is intended for industrial usage of the product and does not pertain to normal consumer usage (soaking clothing etc. in a properly diluted solution is one of the recommended consumer uses). I think it is also fair to point out that the second portion of the MSDS does not appear on ANY of the product usage instructions that are enclosed in each tub of Oxiclean, nor does it appear anywhere on the package label. I think what you have done here on the list in trying to 'warn' people about the potential hazards of using Oxiclean is patently clear, Winnie. All the best, Susan V.
