PART II What should I do if a hazardous situation occurs?
4. FIRST-AID MEASURES
SKIN EXPOSURE: Basic hygiene should prevent any problems. If contact with this product causes redness, inflammation,
or irritation, flush the exposed area with running water. Remove any contaminated clothing, taking care not to contaminate
eyes.
EYE EXPOSURE: If liquid or vapors of this product鈥檚 components enter the eyes, open victim's eyes while under gently
running water. Use sufficient force to open eyelids. Have victim "roll" eyes. Minimum flushing is for 15 minutes.
INHALATION: If vapors, mists, or sprays of this product鈥檚 components are inhaled, causing irritation, remove victim to fresh
air. If necessary, use artificial respiration to support vital functions. Remove or cover gross contamination to avoid exposure
to rescuers.
INGESTION: If this product鈥檚 components are swallowed, CALL PHYSICIAN OR POISON CONTROL CENTER FOR
MOST CURRENT INFORMATION. If professional advice is not available, do not induce vomiting. Never induce vomiting or
give diluents (milk or water) to someone who is unconscious, having convulsions, or unable to swallow. If vomiting occurs,
lean patient forward or place on left side (head-down position, if possible) to maintain an open airway and prevent
aspiration.
Victims of chemical exposure must be taken for medical attention. Rescuers should be taken for medical attention if
necessary. Take a copy of label and MSDS to physician or health professional with victim.
MEDICAL CONDITIONS AGGRAVATED BY EXPOSURE: Pre-existing dermatitis and other skin conditions may be
aggravated by overexposure to components of this product.
RECOMMENDATIONS TO PHYSICIANS: Treat symptoms and eliminate overexposure.
