History: Caller states he used the product on 5-28-07, reports "some water splashed back on me when disconnecting from the hose, thought it was just on my glasses, didn't seem like any got in my eyes, it didn't burn, I think I rinsed my eyes." Went to the hospital "a couple hours after" exposure with visual disturbances, stayed overnight, states, "the Dr. said I had a stroke from it." Reports the stroke was "in his eye" not his brain, doesn't remember what treatment was done at the hospital. States "in my right eye, all I can see is a plain white spot, it is not as bad as it was." Last saw HCP on 5-31-07, has follow-up on 9-26-07, has been instructed to flush eyes with water daily. When trying to gather specific product information, caller states "it is out in the garage, I don't want to touch it." Assessment: - Direct ocular exposure to the product might result in irritation, such as stinging and redness, which would be expected to resolve following irrigation. - No significant eye damage would be expected following this type of exposure. - The SX described would not be expected following an exposure to this product. - Recommended to continue following up with HCP for treatment. - Case # given, encouraged to call back with any additional questions or concerns. Note: Based on the toxicologic profile of the product and the alleged contact/effect in the incident description, the symptoms alleged would be inconsistent with what would be expected from the described product contact.
