Safety is our #1 concern at Valspar. We want our customers to be safe while using our products.

Read Product Labels Before Use

For a safe painting, staining or cleaning project, make sure to read all product label information including precautions, warnings and instructions before use. Follow label directions.

Paint Disposal

Do not pour paint down the drain. Unwanted paint should be brushed out on newspaper, allowed to dry, then placed in domestic waste. Dry empty containers in a ventilated area, then recycle via recycling programs. Disposal of empty paint containers via domestic recycling programs may differ between local authorities. Check with your local council first. Alternatively, keep unwanted paint for disposal via special chemical waste collections.

Safety and First Aid

Keep out of reach of children. Provide adequate ventilation. Keep doors and windows open during use and while drying. Wear eye protection when painting ceilings. Refer to the paint label for specific safety instructions that may apply to individual products.

If swallowed: Do not induce vomiting. Drink plenty of water and seek medical help or contact the Poisons Information centre.

Eye Contact: If in eyes, hold eyes open, flood with water for at least 15 minutes and see a Doctor.

Skin Contact: If skin contact occurs, remove contaminated clothing and wash skin thoroughly with soap and water.

If you go to a doctor, hospital or emergency care facility, take the product container with you. It may contain information they need.
