1-35057268 - The reporter, an employee of the (name), indicated that workers at a call center were exposed to an insecticidal product containing the active ingredient pyrethrins. The reporter indicated that the pest control operator (PCO) who applied the product at the call center was reluctant to provide any product information. He only provided a partial name of the product Ecosense Bug-B-Gon and he stated that the active ingredient was permethrin. He also indicated that he diluted the product prior to use. The PCO would not provide any additional product information and therefore the reporter could not provide the PCP registration number for the product nor could she provide the UPC number. Based on the information provided our best guess as to the product used by the PCO is the Ecosense Bug-B-Gon Concentrate with the active ingredient pyrethrins. Per the reporter the PCO applied the product during the night (Saturday 9/21/13) to the carpet, chairs and fabric cubicle dividers in the call center. Employees were present during product application and sat on chairs while they were still wet from the product. The following day which was Sunday (9/22) 18 people were working in the call center and some (Subform II #11) complained of headaches. On Monday (9/23), thirty-five people worked in the call center. None of the people who had worked in the call center on Sunday (9/22) worked in the call center on Monday (9/23). Of the 35 people who worked on Monday, 10-15 of the workers (Subform II #1-10), left work that day due to headaches, dizziness, itchy skin with a rash and shortness of breath. On Wednesday September 25th (three days after product application) the same thing happened, 10-15 of the 39 workers (Subform #12-22) who worked at the call center that day had to leave work due to headaches, dizziness, itchy skin with a rash and shortness of breath. The reporter also stated that she went to the site on Tuesday, September 24th (the day of initial contact with the registrant) and noted that some workers also had swollen and inflamed eyes (Subform II #23). It was not indicated if the same people who worked in the call center on Monday (9/22) were the same people who worked on Tuesday (9/23) and it was not indicated if the same people who had symptoms on Monday were the same people who had symptoms on Tuesday. Therefore the number of people who developed symptoms on Monday and Tuesday could be between 10-30 people. Per package labeling this product is meant to be used on plants, bushes and trees. Use in an office on carpets, chairs and soft fabrics is not recommended and ventilation and cleaning of the site was advised. The reporter indicated that ventilation of the site was difficult as the call center is housed in a mall where there are no windows and no direct outlets to fresh air. At the time of the initial call, the call center had opened the one door that lead into the business and they were using fans to help remove fumes. On follow-up call, five days later, an employee at the call center stated that the center was closed and cleaned and all symptoms resolved without need for medical intervention. No further information is available.

Based on the information provided our best guess as to the product used by the PCO is the Ecosense Bug-B-Gon Concentrate with the active ingredient pyrethrins. Per the reporter the PCO applied the product during the night (Saturday 9/21/13) to the carpet, chairs and fabric cubicle dividers in the call center. Employees were present during product application and sat on chairs while they were still wet from the product. The following day which was Sunday (9/22) 18 people were working in the call center and some (Subform II #11) complained of headaches. On Monday (9/23), thirty-five people worked in the call center. None of the people who had worked in the call center on Sunday (9/22) worked in the call center on Monday (9/23). Of the 35 people who worked on Monday, 10-15 of the workers (Subform II #1-10), left work that day due to headaches, dizziness, itchy skin with a rash and shortness of breath. On Wednesday September 25th (three days after product application) the same thing happened, 10-15 of the 39 workers (Subform #12-22) who worked at the call center that day had to leave work due to headaches, dizziness, itchy skin with a rash and shortness of breath. The reporter also stated that she went to the site on Tuesday, September 24th (the day of initial contact with the registrant) and noted that some workers also had swollen and inflamed eyes (Subform II #23). It was not indicated if the same people who worked in the call center on Monday (9/22) were the same people who worked on Tuesday (9/23) and it was not indicated if the same people who had symptoms on Monday were the same people who had symptoms on Tuesday. Therefore the number of people who developed symptoms on Monday and Tuesday could be between 10-30 people. Per package labeling this product is meant to be used on plants, bushes and trees. Use in an office on carpets, chairs and soft fabrics is not recommended and ventilation and cleaning of the site was advised. The reporter indicated that ventilation of the site was difficult as the call center is housed in a mall where there are no windows and no direct outlets to fresh air. At the time of the initial call, the call center had opened the one door that lead into the business and they were using fans to help remove fumes. On follow-up call, five days later, an employee at the call center stated that the center was closed and cleaned and all symptoms resolved without need for medical intervention. No further information is available.

It was not indicated if the same people who worked in the call center on Monday (9/22) were the same people who worked on Tuesday (9/23) and it was not indicated if the same people who had symptoms on Monday were the same people who had symptoms on Tuesday. Therefore the number of people who developed symptoms on Monday and Tuesday could be between 10-30 people. Per package labeling this product is meant to be used on plants, bushes and trees. Use in an office on carpets, chairs and soft fabrics is not recommended and ventilation and cleaning of the site was advised. The reporter indicated that ventilation of the site was difficult as the call center is housed in a mall where there are no windows and no direct outlets to fresh air. At the time of the initial call, the call center had opened the one door that lead into the business and they were using fans to help remove fumes. On follow-up call, five days later, an employee at the call center stated that the center was closed and cleaned and all symptoms resolved without need for medical intervention. No further information is available.

1-35057268 - The reporter, an employee of the (name), indicated that workers at a call center were exposed to an insecticidal product containing the active ingredient pyrethrins. The reporter indicated that the pest control operator (PCO) who applied the product at the call center was reluctant to provide any product information. He only provided a partial name of the product Ecosense Bug-B-Gon and he stated that the active ingredient was permethrin. He also indicated that he diluted the product prior to use. The PCO would not provide any additional product information and therefore the reporter could not provide the PCP registration number for the product nor could she provide the UPC number. Based on the information provided our best guess as to the product used by the PCO is the Ecosense Bug-B-Gon Concentrate with the active ingredient pyrethrins. Per the reporter the PCO applied the product during the night (Saturday 9/21/13) to the carpet, chairs and fabric cubicle dividers in the call center. Employees were present during product application and sat on chairs while they were still wet from the product. The following day which was Sunday (9/22) 18 people were working in the call center and some (Subform II #11) complained of headaches. On Monday (9/23), thirty-five people worked in the call center. None of the people who had worked in the call center on Sunday (9/22) worked in the call center on Monday (9/23). Of the 35 people who worked on Monday, 10-15 of the workers (Subform II #1-10), left work that day due to headaches, dizziness, itchy skin with a rash and shortness of breath.
