Best Answer

Yes.

Correction fluid contains two major chemicals which have been proven to be carcinogenic (cancer-causing) in varying levels... titanium dioxide and solvent naphtha.

It used to contain a hydrocarbon called "1,1,1-trichloroethane" which acts as a central nervous system depressant. When inhaled or ingested, it can cause dizziness, confusion and even unconsciousness and death in sufficiently high concentrations or in those with weak hearts (especially from inhalation).
