Potential health effects

This section references the contents of leaking and/or ruptured devices. Intact cells pose health hazards only through ingestion, and pose the same hazard as the device contents. Inhalation - Toxic or fatal if inhaled. Electrolyte is extremely corrosive to the tissue of the mucous membranes and upper respiratory tract. Skin - May be absorbed through skin. Corrosive: causes skin burns. Lithium metal is corrosive. Eyes – Both electrolyte and lithium metal cause severe eye burns. May cause irreversible corneal damage. Ingestion - Harmful if swallowed. Corrosive to throat and digestive tract.
