So, what does that "flammable" label mean? 🔥
The product can be easily ignited and cause fires. Stay safe:
✅Store it in a cool, dry, ventilated place (avoid temps over 80 degrees)
✅Keep it away from heat and direct sunlight (never leave it near the stove or in your car!)
✅Keep it away from other hazardous materials (chemical reactions can cause fires)
✅Take it to a household hazardous waste collection site or event to dispose of it (NEVER put it in your recycling!)
