Health Hazards Acute and Chronic:THESE CHEMICALS ARE CONTAINED IN A
    SEALED CAN. RISK OF EXPOSURE OCCURS ONLY IF THE CELL IS
    MECHANICALLY OR ELECTRICALLY ABUSED. THE MOST LIKELY RISK IS ACUTE
    EXPOSURE WHEN A CELL LEAKS. SKIN CONTACT W ITH CELL CONTENTS CAN
    PRODUCE BURNS. EYE CONTACT CAN RESULT IN SEVERE, PERMANENT DAMAGE.
Explanation of Carcinogenicity:PRODUCT CONTAINS NO INGREDIENTS
    CURRENTLY CLASSIFIED AS CARCINOGENIC BY NTP, IARC OR OSHA.
Effects of Overexposure:SKIN AND EYE CONTACT WITH CELL CONTENTS MAY
    CAUSE CHEMICAL BURNS. AT ELEVATED TEMPERATURES, MERCURY VAPOR MAY
    BE GENERATED, WHICH, IF INHALED, CAN PRODUCE MERCURY INTOXICATION.
Medical Cond Aggravated by Exposure:AN ACUTE EXPOSURE WILL NOT
    GENERALLY AGGRAVATE ANY MEDICAL CONDITIONS.

=======================  First Aid Measures  =======================

First Aid:IF LEAKAGE FROM A CELL COMES INTO CONTACT WITH THE SKIN,
    FLUSH IMMEDIATELY WITH WATER. FOR EYE CONTACT, FLUSH EYES
    IMMEDIATELY WITH COPIOUS WATER FOR 15 MINUTES AND SEE A PHYSICIAN
    AT ONCE. FOR INHALA TION OF MERCURY VAPORS, REMOVE TO FRESHAIR.

Extinguishing Media:NONE SPECIFIED BY MANUFACTURER.
Fire Fighting Procedures:FIRE FIGHTERS SHOULD USE SELF-CONTAINED
    BREATHING APPARATUS WHEN CELLS ARE INVOLVED IN A FIRE.
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard:CELLS MAY RELEASE TOXIC MERCURY VAPOR
    WHEN THE INTEGRITY OF THE CAN IS BROKEN.

==================  Accidental Release Measures  ==================

Spill Release Procedures:AVOID SKIN AND EYE CONTACT. DO NOT INHALE
    VAPORS. ABSORB SPILLED CELL CONTENTS WITH APPROPRIATE ABSORBENT.
