May cause irritation, coughing and difficulty breathing.
Inhalation of fine dust has produced pneumonia anddeath in infants. Other effects reported in insufflated
dogs included loss of appetite, fever with pneumonitis,
peribronchitis and reduction in alveolar size.
Magnesium stearate
Inhalation of dust may cause mild irritation.
Excessive amounts may produce coughing and difficult
breathing.
Zinc stearate
A single case if chronic pneumoconiosis and subsequent
fatal lung disease has been reported in a worker exposedfor 29 years to zinc stearate. Symptoms included
gradually increasing dyspnea and productive cough.
Additional effects reported from prolonged inhalation oflarge amounts include cyanosis, progressive chemical
pneumonitis, emphysema, pulmonary edema, andpulmonary granulomatosis.
Zinc stearate
Contact may cause redness. No irritation on intact or
broken skin was noted in rats after 24 hours.
Magnesium stearate
High concentrations may cause unpleasant deposits on
the skin. Injury may cause occur by chemical ormechanical action or by the rigorous skin cleansing
procedures necessary for removal of the dust.
Zinc stearate
A papular, pustular eczema due to blockage of thesebaceous glands has been reported in workers packing
zinc stearate. Irritant granulomas and a single case ofcontact dermatitis have also been reported.

Contact may cause irritation with redness and pain.
Magnesium stearate
High concentrations may cause unpleasant deposits inthe eyes, mechanical irritation and seriously reduce

Zinc stearate
Large dose may cause abdominal spasms and diarrhea.
Magnesium stearate
Ingestion of a large amount of magnesium salts may
cause diarrhea and abdominal pain.
More serious symptoms of hypermagnesemia, such as
electrolyte imbalance, central nervous system depression
and neurological and cardiac impairment, are rare in theabsence of intestinal or renal disease since magnesium ispoorly absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract andreadily excreted by the kidneys.
Magnesium stearate
Magnesium preparations may cause phosphorus
depletion syndrome.
