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.The product has expired
b.It is mislabeled but harmless
c.It may contain prohibited MMA
d.It is a glue, not a monomer
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.
