IMPORTANT
Be careful not to short-circuit the batteries by adhering to the appropriate
safe handling practices. Do not dispose of batteries in a fire as they may
explode. Batteries may explode if damaged or overheated. Do not dispose of
batteries as household waste. Do not dismantle, open or shred batteries.
Keep batteries out of the reach of children.
The electrolyte of the batteries contains 1,2-dimethoxyethane (DME) (CAS
110-71-4, EINECS 203-794-9) above 0.1% by weight. DME is listed as a
Substance of Very High Concern (SVHC) by the regulation (EC) No 1907/2006
of the European Parliament and of the Council. It is classified as a reprotoxic
of category 2 in the European Union. Accordingly, exposure to DME may
impair fertility and may cause harm to the unborn child. DME is also classified
as harmful by inhalation.
Risk of exposure occurs only if the battery is mechanically or electrically
abused. The most likely risk is acute exposure when a cell vents. In the event
of a battery leak, do not allow battery liquid to come in contact with skin or
eyes. Seek medical help immediately in case of ingestion, inhalation, skin or
eye contact, or suspected exposure to the contents of an opened battery.
