Reports of Carcinogenicity:NTP:YES IARC:YES OSHA:YES
Health Hazards Acute and Chronic:TARGET ORGANS: EYES, SKIN, LIVER,
KIDNEY, RESPIRATORY, AND GASTROINTESTINAL TRACTS. ACUTE - BATTERY
IS HERMETICALLY SEALED. SHOULD THE BATTERIES BE EXPOSED TO EXTREME
HEAT OR PRESSURE CAUSING A BREACH IN THE CASE, DUSTS AND FUMES
INHALATION MAY CAUSE IRRITATION OF RESPIRATORY TRACT, EXTREME
RESTLESSNESS, PNEUMONITIS. IN THE CASE OF HIGH CONCENTRATION
EXPOSURES, DEATH MAY OCCUR WITHIN SEVERAL DAYS AFTER THE EXPOSURE.
ELECTROLYTE CAN CAUSE SEVERE EYE AND SKIN IRRITATION AND CHEMICAL
BURNS. NICKEL MAY CAUSE DERMATITIS. INGESTION MAY CAUSE LOCALIZED
BURNS. CHRONIC - CADMIUM MAY CAUSE LUNG CANCER , LIVER AND KIDNEY
DISFUNCTION.
Explanation of Carcinogenicity:CONTAINS CADMIUM [7440-43-9] WHICH IS
LISTED BY NTP AND IARC AND REGULATED BY OSHA AS CARCINOGEN; ALSO
NICKEL-NTP/IARC.
Effects of Overexposure:NONE UNDER NORMAL CONDITIONS OF USE. IF LEAKING
OR INCINERATED: SEVERE IRRITATION, CHEMICAL BURNS, PAIN, COUGHING,
SWEATING, CHILLS, SHORTNESS OF BREATH, WEAKNESS, SALIVATION,
CHOCKING, NAUSEA, PERSIS TANT VOMITING, DIARRHEA, DIZZINESS,
FAINTNESS, UNCONSCIOUSNESS, ANEMIA, DERMATITIS, DEATH
Medical Cond Aggravated by Exposure:A KNOWLEDGE OF THE AVAILABLE
TOXICOLOGY INFORMATION AND THE PHYSICAL AND CHEMICAL PROPERTIES OF
THE MATERIAL SUGGESTS THAT OVEREXPOSURE IS UNLIKELY TO AGGRAVATE
EXISTING MEDICAL CONDITIONS.

First Aid:GET MEDICAL HELP IF SYMPTOMS PERSIST. INHALED: REMOVE TO
FRESH AIR. EYES: IF THE CONTENTS FROM AN OPENED BATTERY COMES IN
CONTACT WITH THE EYES, IMMEDIATELY FLUSH EYES THOROUGHLY WITH WATER
FOR AT LE AST 15 MINUTES. HOLD EYELIDS OPEN. SEE PHYSICIAN. SKIN:

A FIRE: WEAR SELF-CONTAINED BREATHING APPARATUS AND FULL PROTECTIVE
CLOTHING.
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard:EXPOSURE TO TEMPERATURES ABOVE 212F
(100C) CAN CAUSE EVAPORATION OF THE LIQUID CONTENT OF THE POTASSIUM
HYDROXIDE ELECTROLYTE CAUSING RUPTURE OF THE CELL.

Spill Release Procedures:SPILL AND LEAKS ARE UNLIKELY BECAUSE CELLS ARE
CONTAINED IN AN HERMETICALLY-SEALED CASE. IF THE BATTERY CASE IS
BREACHED, DON PROTECTIVE CLOTHING THAT IS IMPERVIOUS TO CAUSTIC
MATERIALS AND ABSORB OR PACK SPILL RESIDUES IN INERT MATERIAL.
RESULTANT SPILL RESIDUES MAY CHARACTERIZED AS D002 (CAUSTIC) AND
D006 (CADMIUM) PURSUANT TO THE FEDERAL RESOURCE CONSERVATION AND
RECOVERY ACT ( RCRA).
