    Household hazardous products are hazardous if they are flammable, corrosive, reactive, or toxic. Flammable products burn easily, like paint thinners and degreasers. Corrosive products can eat away surfaces and skin, such as rust removers and old batteries. Reactive products may react violently under pressure or heat. Toxic products are poisonous to living organisms and may contain heavy metals like mercury, lead, or cadmium.
