Executive summary:

All information has been obtained from secondary source, that mentions Spencer HC, Rowe VK, Irish DD. 1948. Toxicological studies on laboratory animals of certain alkyldinitrophenols used in agriculture. J Ind Hyg Toxicol 30:10-25.

Solution of 3% of 2,4-dinitrophenol and 95% ethanol was applied through a bandage on rabbit shaved abdomen.

The result indicates that 2,4-dinitrophenol is a very slight irritant, including effects of mild hyperemia, edema and exfoliation, but in the study criteria of assessment it hasn't been reported.
