1-45137522 - The reporter indicated that her child may have been exposed to a pesticide with the active ingredient Lambda-cyhalothrin. Two days before initial contact with the registrant, the reporter indicated her home interior had been sprayed with the diluted product, and the registrant and her daughter did not re-enter the home until 9 hours after application. On the morning of the day of initial contact with the registrant, the reporter indicated her 3.5-year-old daughter had developed diarrhea and a low-grade fever. The reporter was advised that re-entry into the home after the product is dry is not expected to cause any side effects, and her daughters specific side effects would be unusual for an exposure to the product. The reporter was advised if the symptoms persisted medical attention should be sought. No additional information is available.
