SECTION 11. Toxicological Information
Adams Plus Breakaway Flea & Tick Collar for Cats & Kittens

ACUTE TOXICITY
Oral: LD50 (rat): >68 mg/kg (Propoxur)
Dermal: LD50 (rabbit): >2.000 mg/kg (Propoxur)
Inhalation: LC50 (rat): 0.5 mg/L (4 hour study) (Propoxur)


Chronic Toxicological Effects
CHRONIC TOXICITY [Specific to Active Ingredient(s)]
In a combined chronic/carcinogenicity toxicity study, rats were fed doses at a maximum 5,000 ppm (222-292 mg/kg/day) for up to 2 years. The NOEL was 200 ppm (8.2 mg/kg/day for males and 11.0 mg/kg/day for females) based on reduced weight gain and urinary bladder hyperplasia.
DEVELOPMENTAL/REPRODUCTIVE TOXICITY [Specific to Active Ingredient(s)]
In a developmental toxicity study in rabbits, animals were orally dosed at concentrations up to 30 mg/kg/day. The NOEL for maternal and developmental toxicity was 10 mg/kg/day based on fetal body weight.
MUTAGENICITY [Specific to Active Ingredient(s)]
The weight of evidence suggests that Propoxur is not a mutagen.
