In terms of danger, at least it wouldn't kill your internal organs like
the old carbon tet ones.
Or the "Dry Powder - ABC" extinguishers. Those work exceptionally well
for putting out fires, but cause a lot of damage. Trying to get that
stuff out of auto uphostery was difficult. In my auto garage (1970s), I
equipped every stall with an ABC AND a CO2. I instructed each of my
emplyees:
If it's anything minor, use the CO2.
If your life is in danger, use the ABC.
If you were not in danger, and you use the ABC, you will be.
