SECTION 4. FIRST AID MEASURES

General

When possible, have the product container or label with you when calling a poison control center or doctor or going for treatment.

Eye

Hold eye open and rinse slowly and gently with water for 15-20 minutes. Remove contact lenses, if present, after the first 5 minutes, then continue rinsing eye. Call a physician or poison control center immediately.
