    At least make sure the thing you post is correct for something like this, as it can be important.

    The first one (exclamation mark) means it is a irritant and the second one means it is hazardous to the environment (not just aquatic)

      Even the third one is different than what they guessed, it’s no GHS symbol, which means that even though there is a diamond, there are no further GHS symbols. Presumably, this is because of using the same packaging for many products. I wonder why they posted if they got 3/3 partially to completely incorrect.

        Easy there, tiger. 1/3 incorrect.

        I wasn’t going to explain all of the health effects, aside from an irritant, that the “!” could indicate, especially when the general rule of thumb is to go over the SDS when you see the symbol. The second symbol is definitely for indicating a hazard to aquatic life.

        The “G” in the third was confused with a “Q”, given the printer resolution. I wasn’t sure, so I used more relative wording for saying what it looked like on my screen.
