Hazardous Class
Aluminum alkyl halides refers to a family of organo-aluminums. The alkyl refers to a family of substituents and halide refers to chloride, bromide, or iodide. They are highly flammable and pyrophoric, especially the trialkyl derivatives. They react with water to form dangerous hydrogen halides. They may ignite and react explosively upon contact with water or moist air. Inhalation of the decomposition products may cause severe injury or death. They may also cause severe skin and eye burns.

Potential Hazards/Toxicity
Highly flammable and spontaneously combustible. Contact with water releases harmful gases. May ignite or react explosively upon contact with water or moist air. May re-ignite after fire is extinguished. Containers may explode when heated. Some decompose explosively when heated. Fire can produce irritating, corrosive, and toxic gases. Inhalation of decomposition products may cause severe injury or death. May cause severe burns to skin and eyes.
