Expert Verdict
Significant data gap. Sesqui prefix indicates 1.5:1 molar ratio variant of bis-hydroxystearamide; structurally related to CAS 55349-01-4 which carries H317 sensitization flags. Read-across consideration recommended. CosIng listing alone does not constitute a safety evaluation. A CPSR assessor would likely request supplier-provided toxicological data or formal read-across justification.
