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.
As a non-chemistry person, I assume the red diamonds are to ensure I don’t put this in my mouth?
The first is a standard warning symbol, telling you to read the warnings.
The middle looks to imply that it’s harmful to aquatic life; so no flushing, (upside-down fish and a piece of coral)
Third one seems to be dosage frequency, but saying a symbol isn’t available. (QHS = taken every night)
Coral? I always assumed that was a tree and it means “hazardous to the environment”
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)

Easy there, tiger. 1/3 incorrect.

The exclamation can mean that it’s an irritant. It could also be other potential health concerns.
Try not to be too quick when trying to correct someone next time, especially when you are only half right
I think, that’s not a coral, but rather a dead tree next to a stream…
The third one is “no GHS symbol”, GHS being the Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals.
That makes more sense, I wasn’t sure why they would be talking about dosage on a mfr label
To translate the sibling, the third one is where it would tell you how dangerous the substance is for you. But it’s keeping its secrets.
Cool. I learned something. Thanks!
