Suspected Cancer Agent:
Yes X No This product contains small amount of titanium dioxide, which is listed by IARC as a suspected carcinogen (Group 2B). Titanium dioxide only presents a risk of cancer by inhalation of very fine dust. In this product, the titanium dioxide is incorporated into the grease and is not present as a respirable dust. There is no exposure to respirable titanium dioxide dust in the normal use of this product.


I guess you should not burn titanium dioxide and breath the fumes!
