Abstract: An irritant aerosol spray container has an opening into which a valve assembly fits and a gasket is positioned between the valve assembly and the container such that the portion of the gasket in communication with the interior of the container is substantially free of material extractable by halocarbon to form color in the extractant. A safety for the spray is also disclosed operable between first and second positions to permit and prohibit operation of the irritant spray as desired. A variety of irritant sprays particularly adapted to various conditions are also described.
