So if I don't have K2O, why is it saying it is K2O on the box?
It's K2O equivalent, not the real thing. If you want to test it,
take a little on a spoon, and drop it into a shot glass of water
on a table at arms length. If it doesn't flash into steam and a
boiling concentrated lye solution, it's not K2O.

Look at the second page under "chemical dangers". Anyone who'd sell K2O
to consumers without serious warning labels deserves a severe beating
in a court room. It'll burn your hands/eyes/and lungs.
