Important Safety Information

Intended Use

The RSDL® (Reactive Skin Decontamination Lotion) kit is intended to remove and/or neutralize chemical warfare agents (CWA) and T-2 toxin from the skin. For external use only by trained individuals. Use only if chemical warfare agent exposure is suspected.

CAUTION: Use only as directed. RSDL® is not a substitute for proper protective breathing devices and garments. Not for use prior to exposure (i.e., prophylactic use) or whole-body decontamination. Allow RSDL® to remain on the skin for at least two minutes. An RSDL® ingredient is absorbed through the skin which may cause adverse effects. Avoid leaving on the skin for long periods. Avoid contact with the eyes and mucous membranes and rinse eyes thoroughly if contact occurs. Remove RSDL® with soap and water when conditions permit. Keep out of reach of children.

WARNING: Fire Hazard. Combustion may occur upon contact with strong oxidizing chemicals (e.g., HTH [calcium hypochlorite], Super Tropical Bleach). Do not discard used RSDL® components into strong oxidizing chemicals or their containers.

The SAFETY Act (“the Act”) provides incentives for the development and deployment of anti-terrorism technologies by creating a system of “risk management” and a system of “litigation management.” The purpose of the Act is to ensure that the threat of liability does not deter potential manufacturers or Sellers of anti-terrorism technologies from developing, commercializing, and deploying technologies that could significantly reduce the risks or mitigate the effects of large-scale terrorist events. Thus, the Act creates certain liability limitations for “claims arising out of, relating to or resulting from an Act of Terrorism” where Qualified Anti-Terrorism Technologies have been deployed. The Act does not limit liability for harms caused by anti-terrorism technologies when no Act of Terrorism has occurred.
