Warnings Lotion is flammable (78% isopropyl alcohol); do not expose lotion or hair wetted with malathion to open flames or electric heat sources (eg, hair dryer, curling iron, flat iron). Do not smoke while applying lotion or while hair is wet.
Skin irritation may occur; temporarily discontinue use; chemical burns, including second-degree burns, and stinging sensations may occur with use.
Systemic absorption may be increased in infants and neonates due to higher skin surface area to body mass ratio and immature skin barrier; risk for malathion toxicity potentially increased; use is contraindicated in these patients.
Metabolism/Transport Effects None known.
