Mr. Anthony Bondi 2204 8wd* Road Norristown, Pa. 19401 ,
Dear Mr. Bondi*
This is in reply to your letter of March 29* 1972 to our Company.
The label on the Duco lacquer that you have been using warns against breathing the vapor and prolonged contact with the skin because such prolonged contact could possibly be Injurious to one's health. These products contain nitro cellulose and a mixture of solvents which can cause skin irritation and can be harmful if inhaled. Some people are more sensitive to solvents than others.
While we, of course, do not know the conditions under which you have used spray lacquers, it is my opinion that if you had been exposed to dangerous quantities of spray you probably would have experienced some discomfort such as irritation off the nose, throat and eyes* headaches* or even mild anesthesia.
2 trust that the above will be helpful to you and hope that you have had no problems,
Very truly yours,
3SJS.&
