Irritant / corrosive response data:
All three animals exhibited moderate redness and slight to very slight chemosis of the conjunctivae at the one-hour observation period. This conjunctival irritation cleared by the 24-hour observation period. The primary eye irritation score is 0.
Other effects:
No deaths or overt signs of toxicity were observed during the study.
