Risk Description
The product poses a chemical risk because the allergy caused by this substance manifests itself in the form of irritation, rashes, burns, joint pain and in some cases debilitating acute and generalised eczema. It would also appear that the allergy resulting from contact with dimethylfumarate (DMF), combined with other pathologies, can cause chronic or acute respiratory disorders. The characteristics of the substance, i.e. its volatile nature, make it likely to contaminate products in the vicinity and permanently permeate finished products exposed to it, thus aggravating the danger.5 incidents reported.
