ARE CONTAINED IN A SEALED CAN. RISK OF EXPOSURE OCCURS ONLY IF CELL
IS PHYSICALLY/ELECTRICALLY ABUSED. ACUTE- MOST LIKELY RISK IS WHEN
A CELL LEAKS. KOH IS CAUSTIC. CAN CAUSE SKIN BURNS, EYE INJURY. AT
ELEVATED TEMPERATURES, VAPOR PRODUCES MERCURY INTOXICATION.
CHRONIC- UNKNOWN.
Explanation of Carcinogenicity:NONE
Effects of Overexposure:NONE IF BATTERY IS NOT BROKEN OR IN FIRE. IF
LEAKING: BURNS, SEVERE EYE INJURY, MERCURY INTOXICATION
Medical Cond Aggravated by Exposure:NONE

First Aid:IF INGESTED, DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING NOR GIVE FOOD/DRINK. SEEK
MEDICAL ATTENTION IMMEDIATELY. CALL NATIONAL BATTERY INGESTION
HOTLINE FOR ADVICE (202-625-3333). IF INHALED, PROVIDE FRESH AIR &
CALL A D OCTOR. IF LEAKAGE FROM CELL COMES INTO CONTACT WITH SKIN,
FLUSH IMMEDIATELY WITH WATER. IF IRRITATION PERSISTS, SEE DOCTOR.
FOR EYE, FLUSH IMMEDIATELY WITH WATER FOR 15 MINUTES. SEE
PHYSICIAN.
