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 extremely vague and lacks any description of a known or defined point of direct exposure to this herbicide and appears to be based on speculation.. Even had casual or incidental contact with this herbicide occurred during application, such a profound and insidious illness is unexpected and not consistent with the known toxicological profile of triclopyr. When considering the body of regulatory data and post-marketing data as well as the weight of scientific peer reviewed evidence on the active ingredient used in this product a causal relationship appears to be biologically implausible.
