Assessment: This product has a wide margin of safety. Mild dermal irritation is possible following topical exposure. Individual sensitivities may occur. There is a temporal relationship between product use and initial onset of clinical signs. Delayed seizure activity for several months following product use is not expected. Other causes of the clinical signs remain in consideration including other ongoing product exposures and underlying disease. The information contained in this report is based on self-reported statements provided to the registrant during telephone interview(s). These self-reported descriptions of an incident have not been independently verified to be factually correct or complete descriptions of the incident. For that reason, information contained in this report does not and cannot form the basis for a determination of whether the reported clinical effects are causally related to exposure to the product identified in the telephone interviews.
