INGESTION WILL RESULT IN GI BURNS.
Explanation of Carcinogenicity:THIS COMPOUND CONTAINS NO INGREDIENTS AT
CONCENTRATIONS OF 0.1% OR GREATER THAT ARE CARCINOGENS OR SUSPECT
CARCINOGENS.
Effects of Overexposure:SYMPTOMS OF LEAD OVEREXPOSURE ARE ANEMIA,
VOMITING, HEADACHES, STOMACH PAINS, DIZZINESS, LOSS OF APPETITE,
MUSCLE AND JOINT PAIN. EXPOSURE TO SULFURIC ACID MAY RESULT IN SKIN
BURNS, EYE BURNS, GI TRAC K BURNS. EXPOSURE TO SULFURIC ACID MAY
OCCUR IF THE BATTERY CAS HAS BEEN DAMAGED OR THE VENTS HAVE BEEN
