I need to know which one of these sentences is right...
Do not get in eyes and on skin.
Do not get in eyes or on skin.
This is to put on the label of a cleaning product that is dangerous for the eyes and skin.
I want to write "OR" since I feel that writing "and" joins the two points and makes it sound like it's o.k. to get it in the eyes and it's o.k. to get it on the skin, but it isn't o.k. to get it in the eyes and on the skin at the same time.
What do you think?

Thanks guys. I had to argue the point, whip out the dictionary, and say things like a "a conjunction joining the two words into one entity versus a conjunction leaving both terms separate."
I won my point since it sounded official - and I had a big book.
