Irritant / corrosive response data:
A single instillation of the test item into the eye of the rabbit elicited corneal opacification and temporary slight to well-defined conjunctival irritation. All reactions had resolved one or seven days after instillation.
Other effects:
There were no signs of toxicity or ill health in any rabbit during the observation period.
