immediately since leakage, caustic burns and perforation can occur as soon as two hours after ingestion. Irritation to the
internal/external mouth areas, may occur following exposure to a leaking battery. Do not give ipecac.

SECTION 4: FIRST AID MEASURES
Eye Contact: If battery is leaking and material contacts the eye, flush thoroughly with copious amounts of running
water for 30 minutes. Seek immediate medical attention.
Skin Contact: If battery is leaking and material contacts the skin, remove any contaminated clothing and flush exposed
skin with copious amounts of running water for at least 15 minutes. If irritation, injury or pain persists, seek medical
attention.
Inhaled: If battery is leaking, contents may be irritating to respiratory passages. Move to fresh air. If irritation persists,
seek medical attention.
Swallowed: If battery is swallowed seek immediate medical advice. Batteries lodged in the esophagus should be
removed immediately since leakage, caustic burns and perforation can occur as soon as two hours after ingestion. If
mouth area irritation or burning has occurred, rinse the mouth and surrounding area with tepid water for at least 15
minutes. Do not give ipecac.
Note to Physician: Published reports recommend removal from the esophagus be done endoscopically (under direct
visualization). Batteries beyond the esophagus need not be retrieved unless there are signs of injury to the GI tract or a
large diameter battery fails to pass the pylorus. If asymptomatic, follow-up x-rays are necessary only to confirm the
passage of larger batteries. Confirmation by stool inspection is preferable under most circumstances. For information on
treatment, telephone [phone] collect, day or night. Potential leakage of dimethoxyethane, propylene carbonate
and lithium trifluoromethane sulfonate. Dimethoxyethane rapidly evaporates. Do not give ipecac.
SECTION 5: FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
Fire and Explosion Hazards: Batteries may burst and release hazardous decomposition products when exposed to a
fire situation.
Extinguishing Media: Use dry chemical, alcohol foam, water or carbon dioxide as appropriate for the surrounding fire.
For incipient fires, carbon dioxide extinguishers are more effective than water.
Special Fire Fighting Procedures: Firefighters should wear positive pressure self-contained breathing apparatus and
full protective clothing. Fight fire from a distance or protected area. Cool fire exposed batteries to prevent rupture. Use
caution when handling fire-exposed containers (batteries may explode in heat of fire).
Hazardous Combustion Products: Thermal degradation may produce hazardous fumes of lithium and manganese;
hydrofluoric acid, oxides of carbon and sulfur and other toxic by-products.
