Under the conditions of the study, the acute toxicity of castor oil, hydrogenated to rat was determined to be >10,000 mg/kg bw.
Executive summary:

A study was conducted to assess the acute toxicity of the test substance to rat according to a method similar/equivalent to OECD Guideline 401.

A group of 10 male Wistar rats were treated with the test substance prepared as a 25% solution in olive oil. The solution was administered by means of a stomach tube at a dosage of 10,000 mg/kg bw.

Under the conditions of the study, the acute toxicity of the test substance to rat was determined to be >10,000 mg/kg bw.
