SECTION 11. Toxicological Information
ADAMS FLEA COLLAR FOR DOGS

Due to the product form, it was not possible to perform the standard acute toxicity/irritation studies in laboratory animals. Based on the rate of Carbaryl release from the collars (4.25 to 7.5 mg/day), when worn by the animals, acute toxicity risk to human health is minimal under normal use conditions.
Chronic Toxicological Effects
[Specific to Active Ingredient(s)] No toxic effects were seen in rats administered up to 200 mg/kg of Carbaryl for 2 years. With higher dietary levels (1,500 and 2,250 mg/kg) diffuse, cloudy swelling of kidney tubules were seen after 96 days. There were observed marked functional and structural changes of the pituitary gland with impairment of thyroid and gonadal function found in rats administered 7, 14 and 70 mg/kg/body weight of Carbaryl for up to 12 months.
Carcinogenicity/Other Information
No data available.
Hazardous Components (Chemical Name) CAS # NTP IARC ACGIH OSHA
Carbaryl 63-25-2 n.a. n.a. A4 n.a.
Carcinogenicity: NTP? No       IARC Monographs? No       OSHA Regulated? No
Additional Toxicological Information
DEVELOPMENTAL/REPRODUCTIVE TOXICITY [Specific to Active Ingredient(s)]: Carbaryl was administered to guinea pigs. At a near lethal dose for the mother (300 mg/kg), spinal abnormalities were produced in about one half of the surviving fetuses. Oral administration of 200 mg/kg of Carbaryl for three days a week for 90 days produced no significant histological changes in testes, epididymis, liver, and kidney of male rats. No marked biochemical changes were observed in the testes, liver and brain. Acetylcholinesterase activity in blood was found to be decreased. This dosage of Carbaryl did not affect the fertility of male rats. Carbaryl was administered in the diet of three generations of gerbils at dietary levels of 2,000, 4,000, 6,000 and 10,000 ppm. Reduced fertility was noted at 2,000 ppm, although a clear dose-response trend was not observed.
MUTAGENICITY [Specific to Active Ingredient(s)]: The weight of evidence suggests that Carbaryl is not a mutagen.
