01
Why the pipe objects
Drain openers can be highly corrosive, damage some plumbing and create a chemical hazard for anyone who later works on the line.
02
Do this instead
Use a plunger or mechanical snake when appropriate, or call a plumber; take leftover product to an accepting hazardous-waste program.
03
Already did it?
Do not mix in another product or attempt to neutralize it. Ventilate if the label directs, keep people and pets away, and call your local wastewater or hazardous-waste authority.
