Health Hazards Acute and Chronic:BATTERIES ARE SEALED, RECOMBINANT
DESIGN. UNDER NORMAL USE AND HANDLING CUSTOMER HAS NO CONTACT WITH
INTERNAL COMPONENTS OF BATTERY OR CHEMICAL HAZARDS. UNDER NORMAL
USE AND HANDLING BATTERIES DON'T E MIT REGULATED OR HAZARDOUS
SUBSTANCES. THESE BATTERIES MEET THE DEFINITION OF "ARTICLE" UNDER
29 CFR 1910.1200. ACUTE: TISSUE DESTRUCTION ON CONTACT. MAY CAUSE
2ND/3RD DEGREE BURNS OR BLINDNESS. ING ESTION WILL CAUSE CORROSIVE
BURNS ON CONTACT. MAY BE FATAL IF SWALLOWED. CHRONIC: INHALATION OF
MISTS MAY CAUSE UPPER RESPIRATORY IRRITATION.
Effects of Overexposure:IRRITATION AND BURNING OF EXPOSED TISSUES.
Medical Cond Aggravated by Exposure:RESPIRATORY DISORDERS MAY BE
AGGRAVATED BY PROLONGED INHALATION OF MISTS. TARGET ORGANS: SKIN,
EYES, UPPER RESPIRATORY TRACT.

First Aid:SKIN/EYE: FLUSH WITH WATER FOR 15 MINUTES. REMOVE
CONTAMINATED CLOTHING. IF IRRITATION CONTINUES SEEK MEDICAL
ATTENTION. INGESTION: DON'T INDUCE VOMITING. DRINK LARGE QUANTITIES
OF MILK OR WATER. GIVE CPR IF BREATHING HAS STOPPED. SEEK MEDICAL
ATTENTION IMMEDIATELY.
