| Causes substantial but temporary eye injury. Harmful if swallowed. Do not get in eyes, on skin or on clothing. Wear goggles, face shield or safety glasses when mixing, pouring this concentrate from one container to another and when removing or reattaching container closure/spray nozzle. After product has been diluted in accordance with Directions for Use, eye protection is not required. Wash thoroughly with soap and water after handling. Remove contaminated clothing and wash before reuse. Drift or runoff may adversely affect non-target plants. Do not apply directly to water, or to areas where surface water is present or to intertidal areas below the mean high water mark. When cleaning equipment, do not pour washwater on the ground; spray or drain over a large area away from wells and other water sources. Do not contaminate water when disposing of equipment washwaters. Do not apply this product through any type of irrigation system. Do not contaminate water used for irrigation or domestic purposes. Most cases of ground water contamination involving phenoxy herbicides such as MCPA have been associated with mixing/loading and disposal sites. Caution should be exercised when handling these phenoxy pesticides at such sites to prevent contamination of groundwater supplies. Use of closed systems for mixing and transferring this pesticide will reduce the probability of spills. Placement of the mixing/loading equipment on an impervious pad to contain spills will help prevent groundwater contamination. KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN. |
