16 CFR Ch. II (1–1–05 Edition) – proposed modification – 6/25/06 (3) if the health hazard pictogram appears for respiratory sensitisation, the exclamation mark should not appear where it is used for skin sensitisation or for skin or eye irritation. (d) Precedence for allocation of signal words. If the signal word “Danger” applies, the signal word “Warning” should not appear. § 1500.128 Label comment. The Commission will offer informal comment on any proposed label and accompanying literature involving a hazardous substance if furnished with: (a) Complete labeling or proposed labeling, which may be in draft form. (b) Complete quantitative formula. (c) Adequate clinical pharmacological, toxicological, physical, and chemical data applicable to the possible hazard of the substance. (d) Any other information available that would facilitate preparation of a suitable label, such as complaints of injuries resulting from the product’s use or other evidence that would furnish human-experience data. § 1500.129 Substances named in the Federal Caustic Poison Act. The Commission finds that for those substances covered by the Federal Caustic Poison Act (44 Stat. 1406), the requirements of section 2(p)(1) of the Federal Hazardous Substances Act (repeated in § 1500.3(b)(14)(i)) are not adequate for the protection of the public health. Labeling for those substances, in the concentrations listed in the Federal Caustic Poison Act, were required to bear the signal word “poison.” The Commission concludes that the lack of the designation “poison” would indicate to the consumer a lesser hazard and that such would not be in the interest of the public health. Under the authority granted in section 3(b) of the act, the Commission therefore finds that for the following substances, and at the following concentrations, the word “poison” is necessary in addition to any signal word: (a) Hydrochloric acid and any preparation containing free or chemically unneutralized hydrochloric acid (HCl) in a concentration of 10 percent or more. (b) Sulfuric acid and any preparation containing free or chemically unneutralized sulfuric acid (H 2 SO 4 ) in a concentration of 10 percent or more. (c) Nitric acid or any preparation containing free or chemically unneutralized nitric acid (HNO 3 ) in a concentration of 5 percent or more. (d) Carbolic acid (C 6 H 5 OH), also known as phenol, and any preparation containing carbolic acid in a concentration of 5 percent or more. (e) Oxalic acid and any preparation containing free or chemically unneutralized oxalic acid (H 2 C 2 O 4 ) in a concentration of 10 percent or more. (f) Any salt of oxalic acid and any preparation containing any such salt in a concentration of 10 percent or more. (g) Acetic acid or any preparation containing free or chemically unneutralized acetic acid (HC 2 H 2 O 2 ) in a concentration of 20 percent or more. (h) Hypochlorous acid, either free or combined, and any preparation containing the same in a concentration that will yield 10 percent or more by weight of available chlorine. (i) Potassium hydroxide and any preparation containing free or chemically unneutralized potassium hydroxide (KOH), including caustic potash and vienna paste (vienna caustic), in a concentration of 10 percent or more. (j) Sodium hydroxide and any preparation containing free or chemically unneutralized sodium hydroxide (NaOH), including caustic soda and lye in a concentration of 10 percent or more. (k) Silver nitrate, sometimes known as lunar caustic, and any preparation containing silver nitrate (AgNO 3 ) in a concentration of 5 percent or more. (l) Ammonia water and any preparation containing free or chemically uncombined ammonia (NH 3 ), including ammonium hydroxide and “hartshorn,” in a concentration of 5 percent or more. § 1500.130 Self-pressurized containers: labeling. (a) Self-pressurized containers that fail to bear a warning statement adequate for the protection of the public health and safety may be misbranded under the act, except as Deleted: instead of -- 86 --
otherwise provided pursuant to section 3 of the act. (b) The following warning statement will be considered as meeting the requirements of section 2(p)(1) of the act (repeated in § 1500.3(b)(14)(i)) if the only hazard associated with an article is that the contents are under pressure: WARNING—CONTENTS UNDER PRESSURE Do not puncture or incinerate container. Do not expose to heat or store at temperatures above 120 °F. Keep out of the reach of children. A practical equivalent may be substituted for the statement “Keep out of the reach of children.” (c) That portion of the warning statement set forth in paragraph (b) of this section in capital letters should be printed on the main (front) panel of the container in capital letters of the type size specified in § 1500.121(c). The balance of the cautionary statements may appear together on another panel if the front panel also bears a statement such as “Read carefully other cautions on _______ panel.” (d) If an article has additional hazards, such as skin or eye irritancy, toxicity, or flammability, appropriate additional front and rear panel precautionary labeling is required. § 1500.133 Extremely flammable contact adhesives; labeling. (a) Extremely flammable contact adhesives, also known as contact bonding cements, when distributed in containers intended or suitable for household use may be misbranded under the act if the containers fail to bear a warning statement adequate for the protection of the public health and safety. (b) The following warning statement is considered as the minimum cautionary labeling adequate to meet the requirements of section 2(p)(1) of the act (repeated in § 1500.3(b)(14)(i)) with respect to containers of more than one-half pint of contact adhesive and similar liquid or semiliquid articles having a flashpoint at or below 20 °F. as determined by the method in § 1500.43, when the only hazard foreseeable is that caused by the extreme flammability of the mixture: DANGER EXTREMELY FLAMMABLE VAPORS MAY CAUSE FLASH FIRE 16 CFR Ch. II (1–1–05 Edition)—proposed modificication – 6/25/06 Vapors may ignite explosively. Prevent buildup of vapors—open all windows and doors—use only with cross-ventilation. Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flame. Do not smoke, extinguish all flames and pilot lights, and turn off stoves, heaters, electric motors, and other sources of ignition during use and until all vapors are gone. Close container after use. Keep out of the reach of children. (c) The words that are in capital letters in the warning statement set forth in paragraph (b) of this section should be printed on the main (front) panel or panels of the container in capital letters of the type size specified in § 1500.121(c). The balance of the cautionary information may appear together on another panel provided the front panel bears a statement such as “Read carefully other cautions on ____ panel,” the blank being filled in with the identification of the specific label panel bearing the balance of the cautionary labeling. It is recommended that a borderline be used in conjunction with the cautionary labeling. (d) If an article has additional hazards, or contains ingredients listed in § 1500.14 as requiring special labeling, appropriate additional front and rear panel precautionary labeling is required. (e) Since the Commission has issued a regulation banning under the Consumer Product Safety Act extremely flammable contact adhesives covered by this labeling regulation (sec. 16 CFR part 1302), paragraphs (a), (b), (c) and (d) of this section are revoked as to the subject products after June 13, 1978. § 1500.134 Policy on first aid labeling for saline emesis. (a) This section states the Consumer Product Safety Commission’s policy concerning first aid instructions for the use of a salt solution to induce vomiting (saline emesis) in the event of ingestion of hazardous substances. (b) In many cases where hazardous substances are ingested, the recommended first aid instructions for inducing vomiting have contained a statement that this should be accomplished by drinking a solution of salt (sodium chloride) in warm water. At one time, this direction was considered medically acceptable. However, the Commission has obtained information showing that the instruction to perform saline emesis is no -- 87 -- Deleted: The word “CAUTION” may be substituted for the word “WARNING”.
