What are the health risks of exposure to the chemical "Dispersion Orange 37"?

Dear bubbah-ga;

Thank you for allowing me to answer your interesting question.
Dispersion Orange 37 is a dispersion class dye used for dying
synthetic fibers in textiles and other products. Some anthraquinone
(AQ) disperse dyes have expressed allergic properties and can are
believed to cause problems such as contact dermatitis in some people
with sensitivities. While there is no regulation on the usage of these
dyes in the United States in terms of hazardous material, nine of
these types of dyes have been banned by the European Union:

Disperse Blue 1 
Disperse Blue 3  
Disperse Blue 35 
Disperse Blue 106  
Disperse Blue 124  
Disperse Yellow 3  
Disperse Orange 3  
Disperse Orange 37/76 (the one you are referring to)  
Disperse Red 1

The US Material Data Safety Sheet on the chemical warns that the
product ?may cause mild skin and eye irritation? but does not list the
product as a particular exposure threat and does not categorize the
product as a substantial health risk:
