caustic vapors of potassium hydroxide and other toxic by-products.
Hazardous Polymerization: Will not occur.
11. Toxicological information
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.
Acute Toxicity Data:
Manganese Dioxide: LD50 oral rat >3478 mg/kg
Potassium Hydroxide: LD50 oral rat 273 mg/kg
Inhalation:
Inhalation of a large number of vapors or fumes released due to heat may cause respiratory.
Ingestion:
Ingestion of battery contents may cause mouth, throat and intestinal burns and damage.
Skin contact:
Contact with battery electrolyte may cause burns and skin irritation.
Eye contact:
Contact with battery electrolyte may cause burns. Eye damage is possible.
Under normal conditions (during charge and discharge) release of ingredients does not occur. If accidental release
occurs see information in section 4. Swallowing of a battery can be harmful. Call the local Poison Control Centre for
advice and follow-up.
Chronic Effects: The chemicals in this product are contained in a sealed can and exposure does not occur during
normal handling and use. No chronic effects would be expected from handling a leaking battery.
Target Organs: Skin, eyes and respiratory system.
Carcinogenicity: None of the components of this product are listed as carcinogens by ACGIH, IARC, NTP or OSHA.
