Do not get in eye, on skin, or on clothing. Harmful if swallowed. Harmful if absorbed through skin. Wash thoroughly with soap and water after handling. Avoid contact with skin and breathing spray mist. Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) Some of the materials that are chemical-resistant to this product are listed below. If you want more options, follow the instructions for Category A on an EPA chemical-resistance category selection chart. See engineering controls for additional requirements. Applicators and other handlers must wear: ƒ Long-sleeved shirt and long pants, ƒ Chemical-resistant gloves (such as nitrile or butyl) gloves ƒ Shoes plus socks, ƒ Protective eyewear, ƒ For overhead exposure, wear chemical resistant headgear 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 other laundry. User Safety Recommendations Users should: x Wash hands before eating, drinking, chewing gum, using tobacco, or using the toilet. x Remove and wash contaminated clothing before reuse. ENGINEERING CONTROLS STATEMENTS 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 that meet the requirements listed in the WPS for agricultural pesticides [40 CFR 170.240(d)(6)]. ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARDS This product is toxic to fish and aquatic invertebrates. This product may contaminate water through drift of spray in wind or via runoff events. Use care when applying in areas adjacent to any body of water. 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 may be hazardous to aquatic organisms in water adjacent to treated areas. Do not contaminate water when disposing of equipment wash waters or rinsate. Do not apply when weather conditions favor drift from treated areas. Do not apply if rainfall is expected within one hour. This product contains a chemical that 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. CHEMICAL HAZARDS Vapors from this product may injure susceptible plants in the immediate vicinity. Use care to avoid spray contact or drift to 2,4-D susceptible plants such as cotton, tomatoes, flowers, okra, grapes, fruit trees and ornamentals. Do not permit spray mist containing this product to drift onto them. Do not spray when the wind is blowing towards susceptible crops or ornamental plants. Use coarse sprays and/or low spray pressure to minimize spray drift. Do not apply with hollow cone type insecticide or other nozzles that produce fine spray droplets. Spray drift can be lessened by keeping the spray boom as low as possible by spraying when wind velocity is low; by decreasing the pounds of pressure of the nozzle tips, and by 030910 NAI-1256 MAS-468-2 07312019 Page 2 of 19 Craze D-52 011013-1 stopping all spraying when wind speed exceeds 6 to 7 miles per hour. On cropland and along roadsides, do not exceed 20 psi pressure. Do not apply when a temperature air inversion exists. If questions exist pertaining to the existence of an inversion, consult with local weather services before making an application. Do not use the same spray equipment for applying other materials to 2,4-D susceptible crops injury may result. It is best to use a separate sprayer for application of insecticides and fungicides. Clean and rise spray equipment using soap or detergent and water or suitable chemical cleaner, and rinse thoroughly before reuse for other spraying. Do not contaminate water when disposing of equipment wash waters. Do not apply this product through any type of irrigation system. Do not contaminate domestic or irrigation waters. Do not use in or near a greenhouse. Excessive amounts of this product in the soil may temporarily inhibit seed germination and plant growth. Most cases of groundwater contamination involving phenoxy herbicides such as 2,4-D have been associated with mixing/handling and disposal sites. Caution should be exercised when handling 2,4-D pesticides at such sites to prevent contamination of groundwater supplies. 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. When using on Pastures and Rangeland Grasses, there is a 7-day pre-grazing interval for dairy cattle; a 30-day preharvest interval for grass cut for hay; and a 3-day pre-slaughter interval for meat animals. DIRECTIONS FOR USE It is a violation of Federal law to use this product in a manner inconsistent with its labeling. READ ENTIRE LABEL BEFORE USING THIS PRODUCT. USE STRICTLY IN ACCORDANCE WITH LABEL PRECAUTIONARY STATEMENTS AND DIRECTIONS. DO NOT apply this product in a way that will contact workers or other persons, either directly or through drift. Only protected handlers may be in the area during application. For any requirements specific to your State or Tribe, consult the agency responsible for pesticide regulation.
