Potential health effects

Skin: Has demonstrated the potential for contact allergy in mice. Skin: Brief contact may cause slight skin irritation with local redness. May cause drying and flaking of the skin. Effects may be slow to heal. Skin: Prolonged skin contact is unlikely to result in absorption of harmful amounts. Inhalation: Prolonged exposure is not expected to cause adverse effects. Based on the available data, respiratory irritation was not observed. Eyes: May cause moderate eye irritation which may be slow to heal. May cause slight corneal injury. Ingestion: Very low toxicity if swallowed. Harmful effects not anticipated from swallowing small amounts. Ingestion: Based on physical properties, not likely to be an aspiration hazard. Chronic Exposure: For the active ingredient(s): Fluroxypyr 1-methylheptyl ester. Has been toxic to the fetus in laboratory animals at doses toxic to the mother. For the major component(s): Has caused birth defects in laboratory animals only at doses producing severe toxicity in the mother. For the solvent(s): For the component(s) tested: In laboratory animal studies, effects on reproduction have been seen only at doses that produced significant toxicity to the parent animals. For the active ingredient(s): Florasulam. In animals, effects have been reported on the following organs: Kidney. Liver. For the solvent(s): Liver. Kidney. Respiratory tract. Blood. Cataracts were observed in rats exposed to cumene vapors. For the minor component(s): Cumene. Has caused cancer in laboratory animals. However, the relevance of this to humans is unknown.
