7.Routes/Effects of Exposure:
These chemicals and metals are contained in a sealed can. For consumer use, adequate hazard warnings are included on
both the package and on the battery. Potential for exposure should not exist unless the battery leaks, is exposed to high
temperature or is mechanically, physically, or electrically abused.
1.Inhalation: Respiratory (and eye) irritation may occur if fumes are released due to heat or an abundance of leaking batteries.
2.Ingestion: Not anticipated due to size of batteries; choking may occur may with the small AAA battery. Irritation, including
caustic burns/injury, may occur following exposure to a leaking battery.
3.Skin: a. Contact: Irritation, including caustic burns/injury, may occur following exposure to a leaking battery.
b. Absorption: Not applicable.
4.Eye contact: Irritation, including caustic burns/injury, may occur following exposure to a leaking battery.
5.Other: Not applicable.
8.Environmental impact
1.Dot hazard class: Not applicable.
2.Environmental effects: All “MUSTANG” carbon zinc batteries are manufactured with “no mercury added”. These batteries
are classified by the federal government as a non-hazardous waste and are safe for disposal in the normal municipal waste stream.
9.Exposure control methods:
1.Engineering controls: General ventilation under normal use conditions.
2.Eye protection: None under normal use conditions. Wear safety glasses when handling leaking batteries.
3.Skin protection: None under normal use conditions. Use neoprene, rubber or latex-nitrile gloves when handling leaking batteries.
4.Respiratory protection: None under normal use conditions.
5.Other: Keep batteries away from small children.
