Text

(1) (a) A covered entity shall label each
covered product with the phrase Warning danger: Deadly if ingested. In event of
ingestion, immediately seek emergency medical attention for intravenous
administration of methylene blue. Ingestion of sodium nitrite, even in small
quantities, causes severe methemoglobinemia, extreme pain, or imminent death.
Keep out of reach of children.

(b) The label required in subsection (1)(a) of this section must be in a size
equal to at least two percent of the surface area of the principal display panel,
accompanied by a skull and crossbones symbol.

(2) Where the covered product is displayed in advertising or in electronic
media, a label notice must accompany the display in no smaller a size than is
equivalent to the primary description of the covered product.

(3) If a covered product is shipped or delivered in packaging that obscures or
hides the principal display panel, or is sold in bulk or within the same packaging as
another product, the packaging must include a skull and crossbones symbol in a
location likely to be seen and read by an ordinary individual under customary
conditions of transportation and delivery.

(4) If a federal agency or state department does not approve a product label
that otherwise complies with the labeling requirements of this section, the covered
entity shall use a label that complies with as many of the requirements of this
section as the relevant agency has approved.
