IF THE CONTENTS FROM AN OPENED BATTERY COMES INTO CONTACT WITH THE EYES,
IMMEDIATELY FLUSH EYES WITH WATER CONTINUOUSLY FOR AT LEAST 15 MINUTES.
SEEK MEDICAL ATTENTION.
SKIN CONTACT:
IF THE INTERNAL CELL MATERIALS OF AN OPENED BATTERY CELL COMES INTO CONTACT
WITH THE SKIN, IMMEDIATELY FLUSH WITH WATER FOR AT LEAST 15 MINUTES.
INHALATION:
IF POTENTIAL FOR EXPOSURE TO FUMES OR DUSTS OCCURS, REMOVE IMMEDIATELY TO
FRESH AIR AND SEEK MEDICAL ATTENTION.
INGESTION: DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING. SEEK MEDICAL ATTENTION IMMEDIATELY.

| 11. TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION | |
INFORMATION ON LIKELY ROUTES OF EXPOSURE:
PRODUCT INFORMATION: IN CASE OF RUPTURE
INHALATION:
DURING NORMAL USE INHALATION IS AN UNLIKELY ROUTE OF EXPOSURE DUE TO
CONTAINMENT OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS WITHIN THE BATTERY CASE. HOWEVER, SHOULD
THE BATTERIES BE EXPOSED TO EXTREME HEAT OR PRESSURES CAUSING A BREACH IN
THE BATTERY CELL CASE, EXPOSURE TO THE CONSTITUENTS MAY OCCUR. INHALATION
OF COBALT DUSTS MAY RESULT IN PULMONARY CONDITIONS.
EYE CONTACT:
EXPOSURE TO THE ELECTROLYTE CONTAINED INSIDE THE BATTERY MAY RESULT IN
SEVERE IRRITATION AND CHEMICAL BURNS.
SKIN CONTACT:
EXPOSURE TO THE ELECTROLYTE CONTAINED INSIDE THE BATTERY MAY RESULT IN
CHEMICAL BURNS. EXPOSURE TO NICKEL MAY CAUSE DERMATITIS IN SOME SENSITIVE
INDIVIDUALS.
INGESTION:
IF THE BATTERY CASE IS BREACHED IN THE DIGESTIVE TRACT, THE ELECTROLYTE MAY
CAUSE LOCALIZED BURNS.
