WHAT CAN HAPPEN
You could be poisoned. You could be severe-
ly burned by the sulfuric acid in battery elec-

HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD
Avoid contact with skin, eyes or clothing. Al-
ways shield eyes when working near batter-
ies. Keep out of reach of children.
Antidote:
EXTERNAL: Flush with water.
INTERNAL: Drink large quantities of water or
milk. Follow with milk of magnesia, beaten
egg or vegetable oil. Get prompt medical at-
tention.
EYES: Flush with water for 15 minutes and
get prompt medical attention. Keep batteries
