3. Possible hazards
Critical hazards to man: If battery leaking, exposure to caustic ingredients may occur.
Critical hazards to the environment: Dispose of battery properly (see Section 13). Contains zinc compounds
which may present a hazard to aquatic environments
Other Information: Keep batteries away from small children.
4. First aid measures
General advice: 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 temperatures, is accidentally
swallowed or is mechanically, physically or electrically abused. Contains concentrated (35%)
potassium hydroxide, which is caustic. Anticipated potential leakage of potassium hydroxide
is 0.05 to 0.5 ml, depending on battery size.
If inhaled: Respiratory and eye irritation may occur if fumes are released due to heat or an
abundance of leaking batteries. Remove to fresh air. Contact physician if irritation persists.
On skin contact: Irritation, including caustic burns/injury, may occur following exposure to a leaking battery.
If battery is leakin
g, irrigate exposed skin with copious amounts of clear, tepid water for at
least 15 minutes. If irritation, injury or pain persists, consult a physician.
On contact with eyes: Irritation, including caustic burns/injury, may occur following exposure to a leaking
battery. If battery is leaking and material contacts eyes, flush with copious amounts of
clear, tepid water for 30 minutes. Contact physician at once.
