The Penguin Publisher link provides a secondary link to the intro which
says (paraphrasing to avoid copyright infringement): All of the
experiments can (emphasis added) be done safely as long as the reader pays
close attention to the icons and notes to avoid injury or damaging
household goods.

This suggests that things could get wonky if one doesn't do things exactly
as instructed. It would be worth a more thorough vetting.

Experiments"?

Hi all,

We're putting together C&EN's Newscripts annual gift guide, and one of the
suggestions for it is Kate Bieberdorf's Kate the Chemist: The Big Book of
Experiments. Has anyone looked at the book and, if so, do you have any
safety concerns? I'd expect that the publisher would have vetted it, but I
also know that Kate goes for big drama in television appearances.
