Reported risk: Het product heeft een buitensporige concentratie methanol (gemeten waarde tot 19 gewichtsprocent). Bovendien ontbreken de vereiste gevarenpictogrammen, waarschuwingen en kinderveilige sluiting. Gebruikers hebben daarom geen informatie over het risico van blootstelling aan de inhoud van het mengsel. Methanol is acuut giftig voor het centrale zenuwstelsel en de ogen. Inslikken van methanol kan leiden tot blindheid of de dood. Het product voldoet niet aan de REACH-verordening, noch aan de Verordening betreffende indeling, etikettering en verpakking van stoffen en mengsels (CLP).

Machine translation. This page was translated automatically from the English record we hold of the issuing authority’s notice. The English original is shown below and the authority’s own notice is linked above — both take precedence over this translation.
Product Name (original English): Winter screenwash
Risk Description (original English): The product has an excessive concentration of methanol (measured value up to 19% by weight).
Furthermore, the required hazard pictograms, warnings and child resistant fastener are missing. Users have therefore no information on the risk of being exposed by the content of the mixture. Methanol is acutely toxic to the central nervous system and to the eyes. Ingestion of methanol can lead to blindness or death.
