This is a warning label for Nitrogen compressed gas. It advises the reader not to handle the cylinder or use its contents until reading and understanding the Material Safety Data Sheet. It also warns about the high pressure and suffocation risk associated with the gas. The label recommends using the cylinder only with equipment rated for cylinder pressure and using a backflow preventive device in the piping. If inhaled, remove to fresh air and give artificial respiration or oxygen if needed, and call a physician. Finally, the label reminds the reader not to use oil on the valve or connections and that transfilling of the gas is prohibited.*

This text describes warnings and precautions for handling liquid nitrogen, a refrigerated and extremely cold substance produced by air liquefaction. It cautions that administration of nitrogen may be hazardous, and should only be done by or under the supervision of a licensed practitioner experienced in its use. The open-top Dewar containers that hold the nitrogen must be kept upright, as the liquid and gas can cause rapid suffocation and death without warning. The text also warns not to carry Dewars in the passenger compartment or trunk of a vehicle and describes the risks associated with coming into contact with cold nitrogen gas or liquid.*
