That's all fine and dandy...but the chances of pepper spray causing any "health risks" as you asked, are virtually zero. The stuff is very much in use because it doesnt have long term effects and is considered very safe as a way to subdue those out of control. This would be confirmed by the fact i just saw the kid interviewed on TV from earlier today and he was just fine.
