Majeure
Company correlation score: 2 (Unlikely relationship). The product contains glyphosate 2%, pelargonic acid 2% and additional formulating agents. The reporter described two possible inhalations of droplets during application from a light wind blowing the sprayed product back at him. While self-limiting coughing can occur upon inhalation of droplets, it is unlikely that two inhalations of the sprayed product would result in pneumonia and a collapsed lung. Consumer declined to provide differential diagnosis from providers or elaborate on course of symptoms. Further information regarding symptom evolvement that led him to seek medical evaluation in the emergency room, laboratory testing, and treatment is necessary for further assessment.
