Executive summary:

In an acute oral toxicity study according to GLP and TG OECD 423 a group of 6 female rats received a single dose of 2000 mg/kg bw neat Piperonylbutoxide by gavage. There were no mortalities and no clinical signs. Body weights were not affected and no pathological changes were observed.

LD50 (rat, oral) exceeded 2000 mg/kg bw.
