The product, in the report: Wax on. The Ceramic Store. It is a purple liquid in a plastic bottle. Ingredients include paraffin wax, emulsifiers, drying agents. It is a wax product used protect areas of ceramic surfaces for glazing. also helps to keep glaze off kiln shelves, during the firing process. This product would be used in ceramic studios/art classrooms. When using this product, it glaze can’t stick to the porous bisque-ware. The label says it wont run easily wipes off. After the consumer opens the QC REVEALS that the liquid can be hazardous. Cause acute hazards INCLUDING...through inhalation see complete list of hazards to the body.
Here is the STATEMENT ENTITLED *please describe the hazardous incident or safety concerned on page 1 I brushed the “Wax On “ in the Glazing process on the the bottom of ceramic glaze tests. I used the product on 30 tests. This product was easier to use than many other products to wax the bottoms on the tests I was running. I was close to the product to see the exact coverage of 2x2 inch tests. I stopped after 30 tests. The total time was approximately a 1/2 hour with the door to the room open. It took less time than other products I have used. I was in my glazing room the whole time using the product. I left the room after completion. I noticed a headache after using this “wax-on “product about 10 minutes after leaving the area. I did not have issues or a history of headaches. The next day, I used this “wax-on” product again. The exact process used to complete the next set of tests. I completed brushing wax on 25 tests in the studio area, in a larger room with an open door. After finishing the tests. I turned off the light and left the room. After a while, I got a headache again. I decided later to look at the bottle for any reference to warnings. I had not worn a mask, nor did I find any precautions to use a mask or the need to be in a well-ventilated area I looked at the bottle to see if any indications showed that these headaches were caused by my failure to protect myself or my body. I put the bottle down and was satisfied that I did not see a warning for anything that would cause me bodily harm. It did say a warning: it can irritate skin and eyes. My responsibility was to notice the warning, but I failed to notice the warning. A week later, I noticed a slight headache,then medium headaches for the next couple of weeks. As I write this, I am 70 with three or four splitting headaches on the right side of my brain, now lasting about seven minutes each. The label stated scan for instructions and tips! Under the QR code, IT REVEALED and exposed … POTENTIAL ACUTE HEALTH EFFECTS SLIGHTLY HAZARDOUS included in the list of “slight hazards” was INHALATION I would have avoided the Wax On product if the label had directly said to use it in a well-ventilated are does not state this anywhere I could find. Regulated safety standards would have protected me from these headaches. I know inhalation of wax possibly the drying agent I guess but the chemical in the agent was not available is the cause of my headaches. See phot
