That symbol is a clear warning that exposure—by inhalation, ingestion, or skin contact—can be harmful or deadly, so the material is treated as poisonous. The other options don’t fit because a harmless or nonpoisonous label would lack this skull-and-crossbones symbol, and “slightly hazardous” isn’t a standard placard designation.
