7/2/2023 Caller reports that his son used this product on Friday 06/30/23 and may have gotten it on his hands. He reports his son is not with him at time of call, and he cannot describe how the exposure happened or how the product was used. He reports his son was vomiting yesterday (07/01/23) and feels dizzy, he has a headache, and something is off with his vision. 7/3/2023 Attempted call back. No answer. Left message with reason for call, and case and callback numbers. 7/3/2023 Call back to Caller. He reports his son did not go to the emergency room yesterday. He reports he is feeling better today but he still has double vision. He reports he is getting ready to go to the emergency room right now. Caller agrees to another call back. 7/5/2023 Call back placed. Caller reports the patient was evaluated at the emergency room where a computed tomography scan was done and he was diagnosed with a soft tissue tumor of his pituitary gland. Caller reports it had nothing to do the product and he will be seeing a neurosurgeon to have surgery to remove the tumor. 7/5/2023 Addendum: On call back, the caller also reported that his son was using RoundUp the same day he was using the XTENDIMAX. The product was not available for the caller to provide the EPA or more specific product information.
Moderate
Company correlation assessment: 1 (Unlikely relationship). Based on the described exposure, possible minor dermal exposure two days prior to onset of symptoms, there is no expected physiologic explanation for the product to cause or other influence the development of a soft tissue tumor on his pituitary gland. Additionally, the reporter stated the tumor was not caused by the product.
