How to use
In an attack stay calm and point the canister at the face of the attacker aiming at the eyes, (this will blind the attacker), push down on the actuator for 2-3 seconds moving your arm slightly from side to side. Try always keeping distance between you and your assailant, never take your eyes off your attacker.
Safety information
- Never expose canister/s to direct sun light or temperatures above 45 degrees. Never puncture canister. Never expose canister to open flame. Dispose of responsibly. Keep out of reach of children. Store in a dry cool place.
- The active ingredient of pepper spray is oleoresin capsicum (OC) which is derived from cayenne pepper.
- OC is an inflammatory agent which, once it makes contact with the mucous membranes, lungs, eyes, nose and throat the immediate dilation of the capillaries takes place, normally resulting in temporary blindness and severe breathing difficulties.
- Move out of the affected area as soon as possible. The symptoms will start to subside. If exposed to skin and eyes rinse with copious amounts of water. If symptoms persist after one hour consult a doctor. There will be no lasting after affects and it is not life threatening.
- Fifteen percent mixture of oleoresin capsicum.
