Potential health effects

Eyes: May cause severe eye irritation. May cause moderate corneal injury. May cause permanent impairment of vision. Vapor may cause eye irritation experienced as mild discomfort and redness. Skin: Prolonged skin contact is unlikely to result in absorption of harmful amounts. Brief contact may cause slight skin irritation with local redness. May cause drying and flaking of the skin. For the minor component(s): Skin contact may cause an allergic skin reaction in a small proportion of individuals. Inhalation: Prolonged excessive exposure to mist may cause adverse effects. Mist may cause irritation of upper respiratory tract (nose and throat) and lungs. May cause central nervous system effects. Symptoms of excessive exposure may be anesthetic or narcotic effects; dizziness and drowsiness may be observed. Signs and symptoms of excessive exposure may include: Nausea and/or vomiting. Sweating. 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. May be fatal if swallowed and enters airways. Chronic Exposure: For similar active ingredient(s). 2-methyl-4-chlorophenoxyacetic acid (MCPA ). In animals, effects have been reported on the following organs: Blood. Kidney. Liver. Testes. For the active ingredient(s): Has been toxic to the fetus in laboratory animals at doses toxic to the mother. Has caused birth defects in laboratory animals only at doses toxic to the mother. 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. Based on information for component(s): In animals, effects have been reported on the following organs: Gastrointestinal tract. Respiratory tract. Thyroid. Urinary tract. Lung. Excessive exposure may cause hemolysis, thereby impairing the blood’s ability to transport oxygen. Ingestion of naphthalene by humans has caused hemolytic anemia. Cataracts and other eye effects have been reported in humans repeatedly exposed to naphthalene vapor or dust. Contains naphthalene which 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. N-methyl pyrrolidone has caused toxic effects to the fetus in laboratory animals at high dose levels with either mild or undetectable maternal toxicity.
