Using non-genuine Brother
consumables could be 
an occupational health 
and safety risk

Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS)
describe the chemical and physical
properties of a material and provides
advice on safe handling and use of the
material. The product manufacturer
generally publishes these documents. 

Therefore, Brother provides MSDS for
genuine Brother consumables and not 
for non-genuine consumables.

Using non-genuine Brother
consumables and non-authorised
service centres could affect
your warranty

The use of non-genuine consumables or an
unauthorised service company can be a
risk. Brother does not cover under warranty
any damage or malfunction specifically
caused by improper use or unauthorised
service. We strongly recommend that you
send your product for service and repair
to a Brother Authorised Service Centre.
