PRECAUTIONARY STATEMENTS

Hazards to Humans and Domestic Animals
DANGER: Corrosive. Causes irreversible eye damage. Harmful if swallowed. Harmful if absorbed through the skin. Do not get in eyes, on the skin, or on clothing. Remove and wash contaminated clothing before reuse.
PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT (PPE)

• Some materials that are chemical-resistant to this product are barrier laminate, butyl rubber ? 14 mils, nitrile rubber ? 14 mils, neoprene rubber ? 14 mils, polyethylene, polyvinyl chloride (PVC) ? 14 mils, and viton ? 14 mils.

All mixers, loaders, applicators, and other handlers must wear:

• Protective eyewear (goggles, face shield, or safety glasses), long-sleeved shirt and long pants, shoes, and socks, plus chemical-resistant gloves (except for pilots) and chemical-resistant aprons when mixing/loading, cleaning up spills, cleaning equipment, or otherwise exposed to the concentrate.
• Discard clothing and other absorbent materials that have been drenched or heavily contaminated with this product’s concentrate.
• Do not reuse them. Follow manufacturer’s instructions for cleaning/maintaining PPE. If no such instructions for washables exist, use detergent and hot water. Keep and wash PPE separately from another laundry.

ENGINEERING CONTROLS

• When handlers use closed systems, enclosed cabs, or aircraft in a manner that meets the requirements listed in the Worker Protection Standard (WPS) for agricultural pesticides [40 CFR 170.240(d)(4-6)], the handler PPE requirements may be reduced or modified as specified in the WPS.
• Pilots must use an enclosed cockpit in a manner that is consistent with the WPS for agricultural pesticides [40 CFR 170.240(d)(6)].
• Pilots must wear the PPE required on this labeling for applicators.

Important: When reduced PPE is worn because a closed system is being used, handlers must be provided all PPE specified above for applicators and other handlers and have such PPE immediately available for use in an emergency such as a spill or equipment breakdown.

USER SAFETY RECOMMENDATIONS

Users should:

1. Wash hands thoroughly before eating, drinking, chewing gum, using tobacco, or using the toilet.
2. Remove clothing/PPE immediately if pesticide gets inside. Then wash thoroughly and put on clean clothing.
3. Remove PPE immediately after handling this product. Wash the outside of the gloves before removing them. As soon as possible, wash thoroughly and change into clean clothing.

ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARDS

This chemical is toxic to fish. Do not apply directly to water, to areas where surface water is present, or to intertidal areas below the mean high water mark. Drift and runoff from treated areas may be hazardous to aquatic organisms in neighboring issues. Do not contaminate water when disposing of equipment wash water or rinsate. Do not contaminate water intended for irrigation or domestic purposes. Do not apply when weather conditions favor drift from the target area.
Groundwater Advisory
Most cases of groundwater contamination involving phenoxy herbicides such as 2,4-DB have been associated with mixing/loading and disposal sites. Precaution must be exercised when handling 2,4-DB pesticides at such sites to prevent contamination of groundwater supplies. The use of closed systems for mixing or 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. This chemical has properties and characteristics associated with chemicals detected in groundwater. The use of this chemical in areas where soils are permeable, particularly where the water table is shallow, may result in groundwater contamination. Application around a cistern or well may result in contamination of drinking water or groundwater.

AGRICULTURAL USE REQUIREMENTS

Use this product only in accordance with its labeling and with the Worker Protection Standard (WPS), 40 CFR Part 170. This standard contains requirements for the protection of agricultural workers on farms, forests, nurseries, greenhouses, and handlers of agricultural pesticides. It contains requirements for training, decontamination, notification, and emergency assistance. It also contains specific instructions and exceptions pertaining to the statements on this label about Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) and Restricted Entry Interval (REI). The requirements in this box only apply to uses of this product that are covered by the WPS.
Do not enter or allow worker entry into treated areas during the Restricted Entry Interval (REI) of 48 hours.
PPE is required for early entry to treated areas that are permitted under the WPS and that involve contact with anything that has been treated, such as plants, soil or water is: coveralls, chemical-resistant gloves made of any waterproof material, shoes plus socks, and protective eyewear.

RESTRICTIONS

• Do not apply this product through any type of irrigation system.
• Do not use in or near a greenhouse.
• Do not feed/graze Soybean forage or harvest hay for 60 days following any 2,4-DB application.
• Do not apply this product directly to or otherwise permit it to come in contact with Cotton, Flowers, Fruit trees, Grapes, Okra, Tomatoes, Vegetables or other desirable crop or ornamental plants. Do not permit spray mist to drift onto susceptible plants because very small quantities of 2,4-DB can cause severe injury during the growing or dormant periods. Use coarse sprays to minimize drift. Do not apply with nozzles that produce fine spray droplets.
