Fire Fighting Instructions
(FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES - Continued)
Keep personnel removed and upwind of fire. Wear
self-contained breathing apparatus. Wear full protective
equipment. Use water spray. Run-off from fire control may
be a pollution hazard. If area is heavily exposed to fire
and conditions permit, let fire burn itself out since water
may increase the contamination hazard. Burning chemicals
may produce by-products more toxic than the original
material. If product is on fire, wear self-contained
breathing apparatus and full protective equipment. Use
water spray. Control run-off.

Vendex 50% WP is a moderate to severe skin irritant, is corrosive
in the eye, but is untested for animal sensitization.
Repeated dermal exposures with Vendex 50% WP caused irritation
without evidence of systemic toxicity.
Ingestion of the active ingredient, Fenbutatin, produces
nonspecific effects such as weight loss and irritation, minor
changes in blood chemistry, and changes in kidney and testes
weights. No pathological organ changes have been reported.
Tests in animals on the active ingredient, Fenbutatin, demonstrate
no carcinogenic activity. Fenbutatin does not produce genetic
damage in bacterial or mammalian cell or in animals. Tests in
some animals indicate that Fenbutatin may have developmental and
reproductive toxicity, but only at levels toxic to the adult
animal.
