| abstract |
A dispenser for petroleum distillate based household products, such as furniture oil, baby oil, or the like, comprises a non-pressurized spray bottle comprising a reduced volume spray apparatus which dispenses less than about 0.8 ml per actuation, and a removal resistant neck closure which does not permit closure removal or easy opening of the container. Lower risk is also obtained by addition of a thixotropic thickener to the petroleum distillate based product, to provide a product having a viscosity of greater than 100 SUS at rest at 100° F., but which exhibits shear-thinning, so as to be capable of being dispensed as a spray or fine mist by a non-pressurized spray dispenser or pump. Still further risk lowering may be attained by the addition of an effective amount of a bittering or aversion agent so as to substantially discourage voluntary ingestion of the petroleum distillate based product. |
