Infection Control & SafetyQuestion 197 of 484
A nail technician notices an unlabeled jug of liquid monomer that costs a fraction of the usual price and has a strong, harsh chemical odor. The MOST likely concern is:
a.It is a glue, not a monomer
b.The product has expired
c.It may contain prohibited MMA
d.It is mislabeled but harmless
Explanation
Strong odor, missing label, and very low price are classic red flags for illegal methyl methacrylate (MMA) being sold as a substitute for ethyl methacrylate (EMA). California prohibits MMA on natural nails.
