To check out what the MSDS of a typical HP laser printer cartridge, we pulled out a sample among those listed on the HP website. Here is what we got for the HP LaserJet 92274A, which is a toner formulation used for the LaserJet 4L/4ML and 4P/4MP.
• Health hazards. The ink used in this HP laser printer cartridge should not be inhaled or come into direct contact with the skin. While it has a low toxicity level, it can cause mild irritations when inhaled or come into contact with the skin. It should not be digested either.
• First aid treatment. If in case the product is inhaled by accident, or perhaps swallowed or come into contact with the skin or the eyes, immediate first aid treatment is necessary. If the eyes are affected, the ink should be flushed out with warm water. Washing the affected area with mild soap and water usually works when the ink touches the skin.
• Fire hazard. The ink itself is not flammable, as stated in its MSDS, but if ever the printer model that is using this HP laser printer cartridge catches fire, it should be treated as an electrical fire.
Safe as its MSDS makes the HP LaserJet 92274A printer ink seem to be, the document still advises users of this HP laser printer cartridge to keep the product away from the reach of children, to avoid any possible harm to them.
