From MSDS
TERATOGENICITY: Glyphosate: No evidence of teratogenic effects. Results of rat and rabbit teratology studies indicate that no birth defects were noted. This included dose levels of glyphosate that were maternally toxic.
REPRODUCTIVE TOXIN: Glyphosate: No evidence of adverse reproductive effects. Glyphosate was fed continuously to rats at very high dose levels for 2 successive generations. Toxicity was reported in offspring from the high dose, a level which also produced adverse effects on the mothers. In a 3-generation study conducted at lower dose levels, no effects were seen on the ability of male or female rats to reproduce.
MUTAGENICITY: Glyphosate: Glyphosate has not produced any genetic changes in various mutagenicity tests involving animals and animal or bacterial cells.

From MSDS
CARCINOGENICITY COMMENTS: Glyphosate: Not a carcinogen. Glyphosate did not produce tumors in any of the long-term toxicology studies. EPA has classified glyphosate in category "E" (Evidence of non-carcinogenicity for humans).

EYES: Flush eyes immediately with fresh water for at least 15 minutes while holding the eyelids open. Remove contact lenses if worn. Call a physician if irritation persists.
SKIN: No first aid procedures are required. As a precaution, wash skin thoroughly with soap and water. Remove and wash contaminated clothing.

If medical advice cannot be obtained, then immediately take person and product container, with label, to an emergency treatment center.
