injurious to users under the conditions of use prescribed in the labeling or
advertisement thereof, or under such conditions of use as are customary or usual;
provided, that this provision does not apply to coal-tar hair dye, the label of which
bears the following legend conspicuously displayed thereon: "Caution - This product
contains ingredients which may cause skin irritation on certain individuals and a
preliminary test according to accompanying directions should first be made. This
product must not be used for dyeing the eyelashes or eyebrows; to do so may cause
blindness", and the labeling of which bears adequate directions for such preliminary
testing. For the purpose of this subsection and subsection 5, the term "hair dye" does
not include eyelash dyes or eyebrow dyes.
2. If it consists in whole or in part of any filthy, putrid, or decomposed substance.
3. If it has been produced, prepared, packed, or held under insanitary conditions whereby
it may have become contaminated with filth, or whereby it may have been rendered
injurious to health.

substance which may render the contents injurious to health.
5. If it is not a hair dye and it is, or it bears or contains, a color additive which is unsafe
within the meaning of subsection 1 of section 19-02.1-12.
