OSHA Hazard Communication Standard This product is a “Hazardous Chemical” as defined by the OSHA Hazard Communication Standard, 29 CFR 1910.1200.

Potential health effects

Eye Contact: May cause permanent impairment of vision, even blindness. * Trademark of Dow AgroSciences LLC Skin Contact: Brief contact may cause slight skin irritation with local redness. May cause drying and flaking of the skin. Skin Absorption: Prolonged skin contact is unlikely to result in absorption of harmful amounts. Skin Sensitization: Has demonstrated the potential for contact allergy in mice. Inhalation: Prolonged excessive exposure to mist may cause adverse effects. Ingestion: Moderate toxicity if swallowed. Small amounts swallowed incidentally as a result of normal handling operations are not likely to cause injury; however, swallowing larger amounts may cause serious injury, even death. Excessive exposure may produce organophosphate type cholinesterase inhibition. Effects of Repeated Exposure For the active ingredient(s) Chlorpyrifos. Excessive exposure may produce organophosphate type cholinesterase inhibition. Signs and symptoms of excessive exposure to active ingredient may be headache, dizziness, incoordination, muscle twitching, tremors, nausea, abdominal cramps, diarrhea, sweating, pinpoint pupils, blurred vision, salivation, tearing, tightness in chest, excessive urination, convulsions. In animals, effects have been reported on the following organs: Adrenal gland. Dose levels producing these effects were many times higher than any dose levels expected from exposure due to use. For the solvent(s): In animals, effects have been reported on the following organs Kidney. Liver. Blood. For the major component(s) In animals, effects have been reported on the following organs: Liver. Blood. Respiratory tract. For the minor component(s): Cataracts were observed in rats exposed to cumene vapors.

Cancer information

For the minor component(s) Has caused cancer in some laboratory animals In humans, there is limited evidence of cancer in workers involved in naphthalene production. Limited oral studies in rats were negative. Contains component(s) which have caused cancer in laboratory animals. The component(s) is/are: Cumene. However, the relevance of this to humans is unknown. Birth Defects/Developmental Effects For the active ingredient(s) Chlorpyrifos. Has been toxic to the fetus in laboratory animals at doses toxic to the mother. For the solvent(s): Has caused birth defects in lab animals only at doses producing severe toxicity in the mother. Has been toxic to the fetus in laboratory animals at doses toxic to the mother. For the major component(s): Has been toxic to the fetus in laboratory animals at doses toxic to the mother. Reproductive Effects For the active ingredient(s) Chlorpyrifos did not interfere with fertility in reproduction studies in laboratory animals. Some evidence of toxicity to the offspring occurred, but only at a dose high enough to produce significant toxicity to the parent animals. For the solvent(s): For the major component(s): In laboratory animal studies, effects on reproduction have been seen only at doses that produced significant toxicity to the parent animals.
