Products with which signal word can cause severe eye damage or skin irritation?

• A. Danger-Poison
• B. Danger
• C. Warning
• D. Caution

Answer: (B)

Signal words on pesticide labels indicate how severe the hazard is. For hazards that can cause severe eye damage or skin irritation, the label uses the word Danger. This signals the highest level of concern and tells you to take strong precautions and use appropriate personal protective equipment because contact can cause serious harm. The other terms represent lower levels of hazard: Warning means a moderate risk, and Caution means a minor risk. While Danger-Poison can appear for products that are extremely toxic by ingestion or inhalation, the specific risk of severe eye damage or skin irritation is conveyed most directly by Danger. So, Danger is the best answer because it communicates the most serious potential effects to eyes and skin.
