Lors de la livraison du produit au client, le livreur (personne affectee) a verifie que le contenant etait bien ferme. Il semble qu'il y avait presence du liquide sur la surface du contenant lors de cette verification. Le livreur portait alors des gants de travail non-impermeables, et le produit a pu penetrer les gants. Le livreur ne s'en est pas rendu compte, et a continue a porter ses gants, prolongeant ainsi l'exposition pour une duree exacte inconnue. Cette exposition s'est produite aux environs de midi. Arrive a la maison le soir, le livreur s'est appercu que ses doigts etaient enfles et brules. Il s'est dirige a la pharmacie pour demander conseil. Le pharmacien de service lui a indique qu'il n'etait pas necessaire d'aller a l'urgence et lui a suggere un traitement pour les brulures. Les doigts exposes ont forme des cloques apres quelques temps, et moins d'une semaine apres l'exposition la peau etait sur le vif. Lorsque le livreur pliait ses doigts, la peau se fissurait et saignait.
