Box 19029 Houston, Texas 77224-9029 Fax (713) 588-3236 January 10, 1991 VISTA Fisher Scientific Chemical Division 1 Reagent Lane Fair Lawn, NJ 07410 Dear Sirs: Vista Chemical currently purchases your Buffer Solution pH 4.00 product for use in one of our plants. In a recent review of our Hazard Communication Program, we noted a discrepancy in your MSDS and label content for this product in regards to the formaldehyde content. Specifically, the MSDS does list formaldehyde at a 0.04% level, but has no hazard warnings related to formaldehyde. However, the label has a very specific warning regarding the presence and carcinogenic hazards of formaldehyde. I am requesting further information regarding the hazards of the formaldehyde content of this product. Specifically what is potential for exposure with normally anticipated handling conditions. Thank you for your cooperation in this matter. Sincerely, Thomas G. Grumbles. C.X.H. Manager Environmental Affairs dlj VVV 000006120 **2029b8S5hTH+* -i-- ia*m**a*^___n_w_w__vn N.L&) -* B *iffi OB ttttwng LOT NO. 903559-24 EXP.
