MSDS for this (Whink rust remover) doesn't mention HF at all, nor any

Did you actually look?

And there are DANGER! warnings about hydrofluoric acid printed on the
bottle. (not many consumer products use "DANGER" anymore, most say
"Caution" or "Warning")

It should be taken off the market for ordinary consumers. That
concentration of HF (1.5-3.5%) is dangerous. If any is absorbed by the
skin, it causes gangrene!
