there may also be coughing or difficulty breathing.
Specific Target Organ Toxicity (STOT) – Repeated Exposure: The cells or batteries are not expected to cause
organ damage from prolonged or repeated exposure according to tests such as OECD tests 410 and 412, based on
the available data and the known hazards of the components.
Aspiration Hazard: The cells or batteries are not classified as an aspiration hazard, based on the available data and
the known hazards of the components. However, due to the corrosive nature of the product if swallowed, do NOT
induce vomiting. If vomiting has occurred after ingestion the person should be observed to ensure that aspiration into
the lungs has not occurred and assessed for chemical burns to the gastrointestinal and respiratory tracts.
