Death
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. The product use history is vague and lacks any description of a known or defined point of direct exposure to this product. Even had casual or incidental contact to a surface exposed to this ready-to-use pesticide product occurred, such serious illness resulting in fatality would be unexpected. Finally, this animal was never properly evaluated and treated by a DVM nor was a necropsy performed to determine a possible cause of death.
