What official sources say

Worth knowing · The pure substance, EU

As a pure substance it is harmful by its classification (acute or organ toxicity) (EU harmonised classification). How much a product contains matters.

Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 (CLP), consolidated text, Annex VI Part 3 Table 3 (harmonised classifications), retrieved 2026-10-09

A label gives no amounts, so none of this says a product is unsafe.
