PROPOSED BORON RECLASSIFICATION - ongoing action by Rio Tinto Borax Borax are currently appealing against the European reclassification of some Borates. We will advise you when we have a definitive ruling for the UK from the UK Authority, the HSE. Many of our Products will be unaffected. If they are reclassified, a warning label will only indicate a hazard to pregnant women if they chose to eat a significant quantity of high concentration Borate, an unlikely risk in our Industry. Long term testing of Borate Miners' health shows no related health hazards.
