1 LG International (America), Inc. 910 Sylvan Avenue Englewood Cliffs, NJ LambdaStar Insecticide Material Safety Data Sheet Section 1: Material Identification Product Name: LambdaStar Insecticide EPA Reg. No: EPA Signal Word: Active Ingredient: Chemical Name: Danger Lambda-Cyhalothrin Technical [1a(S*),3a(Z)]-cyano(3-phenoxyphenyl)methyl-3-(2-chloro-3,3,3-trifluoro-1- propenyl)-2,2-dimethylcyclopropanecarboxylate Chemical Class: CAS Number: A pyrethroid insecticide EMERGENCY TELEPHONE NUMBERS: CHEMTREC LG International (America), Inc. Tel: 1 (800) Tel: (201) Section 2: Composition/ Information on Ingredients MATERIAL: OSHA PEL ACGIH TLV Lambda cyhalothrin (13.1%) Not established Not established Petroleum Solvent Not Established Not Established 1,2,4-Trimethylbenzene Not Established 25 ppm TWA Ethyl Benzene 100 ppm TWA 100 ppm TWA Xylene 100 ppm TWA 100 ppm TWA; 150 ppm STEL

2 LambdaStar Insecticide MSDS Page 2 Section 3: Hazards Identification Symptoms of Acute Exposure May cause eye and skin irritation. Harmful of swallowed. Allergic reactions are possible. Exposure to high vapor levels may cause headache, dizziness numbness, nausea, incoordination, or other central nervous system effects. May cause temporary itching, tingling, burning or numbness of exposed skin, called paresthesia. Hazardous Decomposition Products Can decompose at high temperatures forming toxic gases. Physical Properties Appearance: Translucent liquid Odor: Solvent Unusual Fire, Explosion and Reactivity Hazards Flammable liquid. Can release vapors that form explosive mixtures at temperatures at or above the flash point. Heavy vapors can flow along surfaces to distant ignition sources and flash back. During a fire, irritating and possibly toxic gases may be generated by thermal decomposition or combustion. Section 4: First Aid Measures Have product container or label with you when calling a poison control center or doctor or going for treatment. INGESTION: Call a poison control center or doctor immediately for treatment advice. Do not give any liquid to the person. Do not induce vomiting unless told to do so by poison control center or doctor. Do not give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. EYES: Hold eyelids open and flush with a steady gentle stream of water for minutes. Remove contact lenses, if present, after the first 5 minutes, then continue rinsing eye. Call a poison control center or doctor for treatment advice. SKIN OR CLOTHING: Take off contaminated clothing. Rinse skin immediately with plenty of water for minutes. Call a poison control center or doctor for treatment advice.

Notes to Physician There is no specific antidote if this product is ingested. Treat symptomatically Skin contact paresthesia effects (itching, tingling, burning or numbness) are transient, lasting up to 24 hours. Treat symptomatically. Contains petroleum distillate vomiting may cause aspiration pneumonia. Medical Condition Likely to be Aggravated by Exposure None known. Section 5: Fire Fighting Measures FIRE AND EXPLOSION FLASH POINT (method): 115 F FLAMMABLE LIMITS: Lower: 1.1% Upper: 6.1% AUTOIGNITION TEMPERATURE: Not Available FLAMMABILITY: Flammable liquid UNUSUAL FIRE, EXPLOSION AND REACTIVITY HAZARDS: Flammable liquid. Can release vapors that form explosive mixtures at temperatures at or above the flash point. Heavy vapors can flow along surfaces to distant ignition sources and flash back. During a fire, irritating and possibly toxic gases may be generated by thermal decomposition or combustion. IN CASE OF FIRE: Use dry chemical, foam or CO2 extinguishing media. Wear full protective clothing and self-contained breathing apparatus. Evacuate nonessential personnel from the area to prevent human exposure to fire, smoke, fumes or products of combustion. Prevent use of contaminated buildings, area and equipment until decontaminated. Wear runoff can cause environmental damage. If water is used to fight fire, dike and collect runoff.

4 LambdaStar Insecticide MSDS Page 4 Section 6: Accidental Release Measures IN CASE OF SPILLS OR LEAKS: Warning: Flammable vapors may be present. Eliminate sources of ignition and ventilate spill area. Use non-sparking clean-up equipment to prevent vapor ignition. Control the spill at its source. Contain the spill to prevent from spreading or contaminating soil or from entering sewage and drainage systems or any body of water. Clean up spills immediately, observing precautions in Protective Equipment Section. Cover entire spill with absorbing material and place into compatible disposal container. Scrub area with hard water detergent (e.g. commercial products such as Tide, Joy, Spic and Span). Pick up wash liquid with additional absorbent and place into compatible disposal container. Once all material is cleaned up and placed in a disposal container, seal container and arrange for disposition. Section 7: Handling and Storage Store the material in a well-ventilated, secure area out of reach of children and domestic animals. Do not store food, beverages or tobacco products in the storage area. Prevent eating, drinking, tobacco use, and cosmetic application in areas where there is a potential for exposure to the material. Wash thoroughly with soap and water after handling. Section 8: Exposure Controls/Personal Protection THE FOLLOWING RECOMMENDATIONS FOR EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION ARE INTENDED FOR THE MANUFACTURE, FORMULATION, PACKAGING AND USE OF THIS PRODUCT. FOR COMMERCIAL APPLICATIONS AND/OR ON-FARM APPLICATIONS CONSULT THE PRODUCT LABEL. Ingestion: Prevent eating, drinking, tobacco usage and cosmetic application in areas where there is a potential for exposure to the material. Wash thoroughly with soap and water after handling.

5 LambdaStar Insecticide MSDS Page 5 Eye Contact: Where eye contact is likely, use chemical splash goggles. Facilities storing or utilizing this material should be equipped with an eyewash facility and a safety shower. Skin Contact: Where contact is likely, wear chemical-resistant (such as nitrile or butyl) gloves, coveralls, socks and chemical-resistant footwear. For overhead exposure, wear chemicalresistant headgear. Stringent housekeeping measures are necessary to prevent translocation of the material from contaminated work surfaces to uncontaminated surfaces (railings, doors, etc.). Unprotected contact with such translocated material can result in paresthesia effects (see Section 11). Inhalation: A combination particulate/organic vapor respirator may be necessary until effective engineering controls are installed to comply with occupational exposure limits. Use a NIOSH approved respirator with an organic vapor (OV) cartridge or canister with an HE prefilter. Use a self-contained breathing apparatus in cases of emergency spills, when exposure levels are unknown, or under any circumstances where air-purifying respirators may not provide adequate protection.
