First Aid Information For: Duracell Nickel Metal Hydride Batteries
Eyes: Not anticipated. If battery is leaking and material contacts eyes, flush with copious amounts of clear, tepid water for 30 minutes. Contact physician at once.
Skin: Not anticipated. If battery is leaking, irrigate exposed skin with copious amounts of clear, tepid water for at least 15 minutes. If irritation, injury or pain persists, consult a physician.
Inhalation: Not anticipated. If battery is leaking, contents may be irritating to respiratory passages. Remove to fresh air. Contact physician if irritation persists.

Notes to Physician
1) The acutely toxic ingredients are concentrated (35%) potassium and sodium hydroxides and nickel.
2) Chronic exposure to nickel has been reported to be carcinogenic and disposal processes resulting in nickel exposure may be hazardous.
3) Anticipated potential leakage of potassium and sodium hydroxides is 1-2 grams.
4) If the cell is abusively opened the electrodes may react with air and ignite.
