2 Va. Admin. Code § 5-670-60 - Warning or precautionary statements
Current through Register Vol.. 38, No. 17, April 11, 2022
A. Warning or precautionary statements that
are necessary and adequate to prevent injury to humans, useful vertebrate and
invertebrate animals, and useful vegetation, must appear on the label in a
place sufficiently prominent to warn the user. They shall state clearly and in
nontechnical language the particular hazard involved in the use of the
pesticide (e.g., ingestion, skin absorption, inhalation, flammability, or
explosion), and the precautions to be taken to avoid accident, injury, or
damage.
B. The label of every
pesticide shall bear warnings or precautionary statements that are necessary
for the protection of the public, including the statement, "Keep out of reach
of children," on the front panel or that part of the label displayed under
customary conditions of purchase. However, the commissioner may permit
reasonable variations in the placement of that part of the required warnings
and precautionary statements other than the statement "Keep out of reach of
children" if in his opinion such variations would not be injurious to the
public. If a pesticide is marketed in channels of trade where the likelihood of
contact with children is extremely remote, or if the nature of the product is
such that it is likely to be used on infants or small children without causing
injury under any reasonably foreseeable conditions, the commissioner may waive
the requirements of the statement "Keep out of reach of children." The
commissioner may permit a statement such as "Keep away from infants and small
children" instead of the statement "Keep out of reach of children," if he
determines that such a variation would not be injurious to the
public.
