Looks pretty safe to me. Possible eye irritation probably worse hazard.
I pay closer attention to toxicology section as up front sections are
generally aimed at laymen and overemphasize hazards or err on the side
of caution. Animals tested are good representation of human physiology.
If material was intended for human contact, consumption etc. there would
be human testing.

MSDS is a synopsis of all the data out there which for a material like
this that must have a ton of literature on its toxicity. Usually a
professional toxicologist would write the toxicology summary.
