FIFRA labeling:
This chemical is a pesticide product registered by the Environmental Protection
Agency and is subject to certain labeling requirements under federal pesticide law.
These requirements differ from the classification criteria and hazard information
required for safety data sheets, and for workplace non-pesticide chemicals.
Following is the hazard information as required on the pesticide label:
Signal word: CAUTION
Precautionary
statements: Harmful if swallowed. Causes moderate eye irritation. Avoid contact with eyes or
clothing. Wash hands thoroughly with soap and water after handling and before
eating, drinking, chewing gum or using tobacco.
This product is extremely toxic to fish. Drift and runoff from treated areas may be
hazardous to aquatic organisms in neighboring areas. To protect the environment,
do not allow pesticide to enter or run off into storm drains, drainage ditches, gutters
or surface waters. Applying this product in calm weather when rain is not predicted
for the next 24 hours will help ensure that wind or rain does not blow or wash
pesticide off treatment area. Rinsing application equipment over the treated area
will help avoid runoff to water bodies or drainage systems. This product is highly
toxic to bees exposed to direct treatment or residues on blooming crops or weeds.
Do not apply this product or allow it to drift to blooming crops or weeds if bees are
visiting the treatment area.
Notification status:
All ingredients of this product are listed or are excluded from listing on the U.S.
Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) Chemical Substance Inventory.
California Prop. 65:
This product does not contain any chemicals known to the state of California to
cause cancer, birth defects or any other reproductive harm.
