2. Hazards identification
A sealed zinc/silver oxide button cell is not hazardous in normal use (as defined in chapter 7).
In case of mistreatment (prolonged deep discharge, charge, reverse charge, external short circuit…) and in case of
fault, some electrolyte can leak from the cell. In these cases refer to the risk of potassium hydroxide solution or
sodium hydroxide solution (corrosive, pH > 14). Charging may cause rupture. The electrode materials are only
hazardous, if the materials are released by mechanical damaging of the cell or if exposed to fire.

4. First-aid measures
Measures at accidental release
After inhalation: Fresh air. Seek for medical assistance.
After skin contact: Flush affected areas with plenty of water. Remove contaminated cloth
immediately. Seek for medical assistance.
After eye contact: Flush the eye gently with plenty of water (at least 15 minutes).
Seek for medical assistance.
After ingestion of battery components: Drink plenty of water. Avoid vomiting. Seek for medical assistance.
