Potential health effects

Eye Contact: May cause moderate eye irritation. May cause moderate corneal injury. Effects may be slow to heal. Vapor or mist may cause eye irritation. * Trademark of Dow AgroSciences LLC Skin Contact: Brief contact is essentially nonirritating to skin. Repeated contact may cause skin irritation with local redness. Skin Absorption: Prolonged skin contact is unlikely to result in absorption of harmful amounts. Skin Sensitization: Has caused allergic skin reactions when tested in guinea pigs. Inhalation: No adverse effects are anticipated from single exposure to mist. Ingestion: Low 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 injury. Effects of Repeated Exposure: Repeated contact may cause skin irritation with local redness. For the active ingredient(s): Triclopyr triethylamine salt. In animals, effects have been reported on the following organs Kidney. For the minor component(s) Ethanol. In humans, effects have been reported on the following organs: Central nervous system. Liver. Headache.

Cancer information

Ethanol when not consumed in an alcoholic beverage is not classifiable as a human carcinogen. Birth Defects/Developmental Effects For the active ingredient(s) Triclopyr triethylamine salt. Has been toxic to the fetus in laboratory animals at doses toxic to the mother. For similar active ingredient(s). Clopyralid caused birth defects in test animals, but only at greatly exaggerated doses that were severely toxic to the mothers. No birth defects were observed in animals given clopyralid at doses several times greater than those expected during normal exposure. For the minor component(s): Ethanol. Has caused birth defects in lab animals at high doses. EDTA and its sodium salts have been reported to cause birth defects in laboratory animals only at exaggerated doses that were toxic to the mother. These effects are likely associated with zinc deficiency due to chelation. Reproductive Effects: For similar active ingredient(s). Triclopyr. In laboratory animal studies, effects on reproduction have been seen only at doses that produced significant toxicity to the parent animals.
