Executive summary:

Norris et al. (1973, 1974) reported that FR-300-BA applied as dry solid on shaved skin of New Zealand albino rabbits caused essentially no response on intact skin and a slight erythematous and edematous response on abraded skin after a single exposure of 24 h. Repeated exposures to intact skin for 5 days/week for 2 weeks and to abraded skin for 3 days did not alter the responses observed following a single administration.
