Calling in regards to his [age] daughter who used this product in her yard on Saturday 5/26/07. During use believes she had a blow back from the wind into her face. Was swallowing at the time and must have ingested some of this. What are the expected problems from this? On Sunday daughter developed a Sore throat and since has developed congestion in her chest and a HA. Note: Based on the toxicologic profile of the product and the temporal relationship to alleged contact/effect in the incident description, the symptoms alleged would be inconsistent with what would be expected from the described product contact.
