Respiratory (and eye) irritation may occur if fumes are relased due to heat or an abundance
of leaking batteries.
Not anticipated due to size of batteries; choking may occur with the small AAA battery.
Irritation, including caustic burns/injury, may occur following exposure to a leaking battery.

Metal jacket
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
temperature or is mechanically, physically or electrically abused.
