Any statement on the label or labeling of such cosmetic, either directly or indirectly implying that the product is recommended or endorsed by any agency of the federal or state government, shall be considered misleading, unless such agency has approved such statement prior to such use; (b) if in package form, unless it bears a label containing (1) the name and place of business of the manufacturer, packer or distributor and (2) an accurate statement of the quantity of the contents in terms of weight, measure or numerical count, provided, under subdivision (2) of this subsection, reasonable variations shall be permitted, and exemptions as to small packages shall be established, by regulations prescribed by the commissioner and director, acting jointly; (c) if any information or other word or statement, required by or under authority of this chapter to appear on the label or labeling, is not prominently placed thereon with such conspicuousness, as compared with other words, statements, designs or devices in the labeling, and in such terms, as to render it likely to be read and understood by the ordinary individual under customary conditions of purchase and use; or (d) if its container is so made, formed or filled as to be misleading.
