Applicant's summary and conclusion

Executive summary:

Embryotoxic effect of benzoyl peroxide to three-day chicken
egg was tested. Acetone was used as solvent for benzoyl
peroxide and the solution volume of 5 µl was injected into
shell membrane in the air chamber of the egg during 14 days.
The eggs were incubated. Malformations, like defects of the
right eye of the embroys, were observed.
