I've personally never used Alclad colours before, but on another forum I attend to, a fellow modeler posted a thread about the fineprint on the Alclad grey primer (and on the gloss black base) that read:
Warning
"This product contains a chemical known to the state of California to cause cancer or birth defects or other reproductive harm"
Concerned about this, he emailed Alclad for more information:

Dear sirs
Regarding the fine print notice on your grey primer and gloss black base cans, about cancer and reproductive harm, I would like to know:
1- Where can I find more information about this subject and, from your point of view, what do you consider harzardous usage of these products.
2- What other unharmful products can be used to replace these primers, keeping the Alclad lacquer shine and quality.
Thanks in advance
And their (pretty evasive) response:
1-www.osha.gov this site has details of various solvents and their properties
2-I don't know

Does anyone have any more information, or has read anything about this?
So many people use Alclad products, it's a very, VERY big issue here....
Regards,
Pedro.
