Hypochlorite oxidation of RIT dyes

I used two OTC All purpose fabric dyes to do a shirt this evening then I cleaned up with straight bleach. The colors I used where sunshine orange 43 and Dark Green 35. The only ingredient I can ascertain is salt. The actual dye blends are propietary. The orange dye gave a peculiar chloroform like odor while the dark green gave a decidingly sweet phenolic type odor.
Realizing these are OTC I would not guess that these would be aniline type dyes or other toxic colorants but oxidation products might be a different matter. Anyone care to shed some light on this? ANyone know about RIT or other all purpose textile dyes?
