SDS from 05-03-2023 https://www.maycocolors.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/Premium_Gold_Luster_SDS.pdf , could compare to an older SDS

As far as I can tell the Mayco SDS have not been updated this year.

My impression is that any changes to Mayco labelling & SDS and formulation were not implemented, due to a variety of issues, including:
After meeting with our supplier, it is their decision to not reformulate to a more user-friendly formula, nor are they willing to replace the antiquated equipment that is causing the packaging problems.

An answer to your question might be found by monitoring changes to labeling & SDS of the products of competitors staying in the market.
alternative options such as Laguna Lusters and Colorobbia Lustres are available.
... both for changing risk levels and the disappearance of H&S warning for any "risky" chemicals removed by new formulations.

A first step would be to archive the existing SDS for these products. Both from the manufacturers and -- if those are recent -- from pottery shops who haven't updated their copies recently.

Looks like Laguna lustres are still available at Axner and Plainsman but sold out at a few of the other websites I checked.

I think all Laguna outlets are sold out? The 5 oz size was the best deal but Ca. Laguna  had none on my order last week.

You can still get it on Amazon (duncan /maco)
