IMPORTANT DRY ICE SAFETY INFO
WARNING!
Dry ice is a highly effective, safe cooling tool when used and disposed of properly. Because it's so cold (-109.3°F or -78.5°C) and sublimates versus melting (which means that instead of melting it goes from a solid directly to a gaseous state), there are precautions to take when using it.
HANDLING, STORING & USING
- WEAR GLOVES to protect your hands when handling dry ice. Because dry ice reaches extremely cold temperatures, it can burn bare skin.
- DO NOT put dry ice in any space that is not well ventilated OR store it in an air-tight container.
- NEVER leave dry ice unattended. It should always be kept out of the reach of children and animals.
- DO NOT ingest or use in drinks or beverages.
DISPOSAL
- When finished using dry ice, unwrap it (if necessary) and leave it at room temperature in a well-ventilated area out of reach of animals or children.
- NEVER put it in the garbage or down a sink drain or toilet as the extremely cold temperature can damage plumbing.
- To dispose of dry ice in your cooler, simply set it outside with the lid off or open.
- If you can't leave the dry ice outside, set it on a solid surface that can withstand cold temperatures.
- Be sure to open windows in the room, and keep the room ventilated as the dry ice evaporates!
- It will take several hours or days for the dry ice to fully sublimate, depending on conditions.
IN CASE OF EMERGENCY: For accidental ingestion, seek medical attention immediately and call 911. Panting, headaches and blue lips and fingernails are signs of overexposure to carbon dioxide. If necessary, call 911. Seek medical attention as needed for treatment of dry ice burns.
