- Other effects:
- None reported
Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Interpretation of results:
- not irritating
- Remarks:
- Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: US CPSC / US FDA
- Conclusions:
- None of the rabbits exhibited a positive reaction to the test article. Therefore, tetrabromobisphenol-A is considered to be a non-irritant.
- Executive summary:
Tetrabromobisphenol-A was instilled in the right eye of six rabbits (three males and three females). The untreated left eye served as the negative control.
Four rabbits exhibited slight redness at the one hour observation period. No other ocular reactions were observed during the study.
Based upon the observations made in the Acute Eye Irritation Test, Tetrabromobisphenol-A is considered to be a non-eye irrritant.
