Steve’s Notes:
Social media, from time to time – somebody will post a pic of Nuvan Strips misuse.
One thing that I just became aware of was that the CDC has had some reports of consumers becoming ill after using those strips. It was mostly headaches, maybe a few some respiratory issues, maybe even some upset stomachs.
It’s almost always label misuse, usually when the consumer is exposed to the product for four hours a day or more.
But these strips, the active ingredient is Dichlorvos (Die-klore-vos) which is an organophosphate.
That being said, If you see a customer misusing Nuvan Strips, consider it your duty to alert them of these issues.
