There was a spill of the product at work (name greeter) on May 22, 2010 and she had eye contact with the product. Caller states she was diagnosed with an alkaline burn to her eye and subsequently lost sight in that eye (unsure if temporary or permanent loss). Caller states that there is another spill of the product at work today and she would like clean-up information. Caller is concerned because she does not want to lose additional sight and is currently having to get brain injections.
Modérée
Name of product was obtained from the bag. Has any exposure or injury occurred before, yes (see above re initial call). Where and when did the spill occur, (name) May 22, 2010 and July 20, 2010. What quantity spilled? 40 lbs each time (bags stacked 10 high, not 2 high as directed on the label). Has the spill entered a water way? No. Is there potential for entering ground water? No. What clean up procedures have been initiated? 1/2 cup full is still on the floor, a co-worker pushed the rest of the product off the counter and swept it up. Who is performing the clean up? store employee. Is the clan up assistance requested from this client (other than MSDS instructions)? Yes. Because of her claim that the product caused her vision issues, she is afraid to get near the product and wants to know from the company how to clean up a spill properly. Her manager told her after the May 22, 2010 spill that she could clean it up like she would clean up flour so caller did not take any precautions at that time. Per the caller, the person who cleaned the spill up yesterday is fine. Advised caller that generally, the product may act as an eye irritant and due to the granular formulation may cause corneal abrasions if not rinsed properly but the extent of her symptoms as described including the need for brain injections and loss of vision requiring surgery is not expected. Nufarm found proper EPA registration number. Should be #as the number given is a firm in (country). MSDS was forwarded to the caller. Relayed that clean up of spills includes sweeping up material and placing it in a closed container for disposal.
