The editor of Bretherick's Handbook of Reactive Chemical Hazards, Volume 2, 5th edition is P.G. Urben. Quite the sense of humor, he has. Also listed in this book? Bats, indigestion.

Wonderful! This reminds me of my grad school lab, whose bottles of sand proudly bore warnings that the contents were known in the state of California to cause cancer. While recognizing that silicosis is an awful, terrible thing, my supervisor did with a wink tell us that it was thus for our health that he was keeping us in the lab and off the beach.
