(1) The following acts and the causing thereof
are hereby prohibited:

(a) The introduction or delivery for introduction into commerce of any
misbranded hazardous substance or banned hazardous substance;

(b) The alteration, mutilation, destruction, obliteration, or removal of the
whole or any part of the label of, or the doing of any other act with respect to, a
hazardous substance if such act is done while the substance is in commerce, or
while the substance is held for sale (whether or not the first sale) after shipment in
commerce, and results in the hazardous substance being a misbranded hazardous
substance or a banned hazardous substance;

(c) The receipt in commerce of any misbranded hazardous substance or
banned hazardous substance and the delivery or proffered delivery thereof for pay
or otherwise;

(d) The giving of a guarantee or undertaking referred to in section 25-5-504
(2), which guarantee or undertaking is false, except by a person who relied upon a
guarantee or undertaking to the same effect signed by, and containing the name
and address of, the person residing in the United States from whom he received in
good faith the hazardous substance;

(e) The failure to permit entry, inspection, or sampling as authorized by
section 25-5-509 or to permit access to and copying of any record as authorized by
section 25-5-510;

(f) The removing or disposing of a detained or embargoed article by sale or
otherwise without permission of an authorized agent or court;

a hazardous substance in a reused food, drug, or cosmetic container or in a
container which, though not a reused container, is identifiable as a food, drug, or
cosmetic container by its labeling or by other identification. The reuse of a food,
drug, or cosmetic container as a container for a hazardous substance shall be
deemed to be an act which results in the hazardous substance being a misbranded
hazardous substance. As used in this paragraph (g), the terms food, drug, and
cosmetic shall have the same meanings as in the Colorado Food and Drug Act.

(h) The use by any person to his own advantage or the revealing, other than

courts when relevant in any judicial proceeding under this part 5, of any information
acquired under authority of section 25-5-509 concerning any method or process
which as a trade secret is entitled to protection.
