Probably not. MSDS is here:

 

http://www.pfizerah.com/PAHimages/msds_us/DC.pdf

 

"Ingestion effects: Ingestion of large quantities may result in headache, dizziness or sedation

based on components."

 

Ingredients:

 

Benzoic Acid* 65-85-0 Proprietary

Malic acid* 6915-15-7 Proprietary

Methylparaben 99-76-3 Proprietary

Propylene glycol 57-55-6 Proprietary

Propylparaben 94-13-3 Proprietary

Salicylic Acid* 69-72-2 Proprietary

Stearyl Alcohol 112-92-5 Proprietary

Steareth-2 CFTA 9005-00-9 Proprietary

Steareth-21 CFTA 9005-00-9 Proprietary

Xantan gum, Ph. Eur. 11138-66-2 Proprietary

 

For first aid, it DOES say:

 

"Ingestion: Get medical attention. Do not induce vomiting unless directed by medical

personnel. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person."

 

But they have to say that for everything. An MSDS won't say, "Consume! Don't call a doctor. Have a nice day."

 

Under toxicological, it says:

 

"Ingestion: Not determined for this mixture. The estimated LD50 in rats is greater

than 2000 mg/kg based on toxicity of components and concentrations

present."

 

Table salt is around 2000 to 3000 mg/kg, so I think you're pretty safe there.
