The chemical items listed and illustrated in this catalog are designed, prepared and sold for use
on the dead only. They should not be used on the living under any circumstances except for such
substances as the soaps and cleaners illustrated.
Since embalming chemicals are strong preservatives, they are by their nature, generally irritants
to the skin of the living and extremely dangerous if swallowed. Extreme care should be taken to
prevent unauthorized access to any such chemicals. They must be kept out of the reach of children who
might be too young to read, or might not understand what they did read on the label.
We strongly suggest that all empty containers be thoroughly rinsed with water before being
discarded…and that any plastic containers be crushed before disposal to prevent accidental use.
Under no circumstances should any of these products be transferred to other containers. lack of
label or similarity of container to edible products might lead to accidents.
Every bottle of ESCo Chemicals being sold today that contains formaldehyde has the warning below as
part of the label for the protection of all.
