Potential Health Effects
:
The chemicals and metals in this product are contained in a sealed can. Exposure to the contents will not
occur unless the battery leaks, is exposed to high temperatures or is mechanically, physically, or
electrically abused. Damaged battery will release concentrated potassium hydroxide, which is caustic.
Anticipated potential leakage of potassium hydroxide is 2 to 20 mL, depending on battery size.
Eye Contact
: Contact with battery contents may cause severe irritation and burns. Eye damage is
possible.
Skin Contact
: Contact with battery contents may cause severe irritation and burns.
Inhalation
: Inhalation of vapors or fumes released due to heat or a large number of leaking batteries may
cause respiratory and eye irritation.
Ingestion
: Swallowing is not anticipated due to battery size. Choking may occur if smaller AAA batteries
are swallowed. Ingestion of battery contents (from a leaking battery) may cause mouth, throat and
intestinal burns and damage.
