CO2 gas is heavier than air and it can therefore accumulate in basements or other low-lying areas, which may cause suffocation. Keep vehicle windows open to ensure a draft, during the transportation of dry ice.
Dry ice is much colder than water ice and may burn skin (similar to frostbite). Wear insulated gloves during handling and safety glasses or a face shield when cutting or chipping it.
Keep out of reach of children.
Do not ingest or swallow.
Avoid inhaling CO2 gas. Dry ice stored in a household storage freezer or refrigerator, is unlikely to produce CO2 gas in sufficient quantities to cause a health risk. Therefore, dry ice may be safely used to refrigerate food in suitable containers.
