9/11/2007Caller's husband used the product in one room of her house on previous Sunday. Within 8 hours of use, the grandson developed a cough. Within 8 hours of using the product the cat developed labored breathing. The cat also stopped eating and drinking. There is no known exposure to the product other than the possibility that the cat could have walked on the treated carpeting.Cat was taken to DVM the next morning where he was diagnosed with a collapsed lung and was euthanised. No necropsy was not performed. The DVM did not necessarily feel the carpet product was responsible but was unsure of the ultimate cause.Follow-up on 9/12/2007Grandmother states that her grandson is okay now, his cough is getting better. They think maybe it was from his cold that he apparently had before the product was used. He did not see a doctor.

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 can not 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.These signs and symptoms are not specific for the known toxicity profile of the product given the circumstances of use and the suspected exposure. Even with incidental contact with treated areas, this pesticide is most certainly not associated with the development of a collapsed lung. Secondly, the human patient reported in this case already had evidence of an upper respiratory infection prior to the use of the pesticide with the subsequent symptoms being far more consistent with some type of respiratory virus.
