GENERAL LABELING AND PACKAGING REQUIREMENTS

(a) The department shall ensure that each hazardous substance is labeled sufficiently to inform its user of the dangers involved in using, storing, or handling the substance, of actions to be taken or avoided, and to give instructions as necessary for proper first aid treatment. The department shall develop labeling instructions consistent with and in conformity with federal requirements. (b) A statement required by Subsection (a) must be located prominently and written in English in conspicuous and legible type that contrasts in typography, layout, or color with other printed matter on the label. The department may also require the statement to be written in Spanish. (c) The statement must also appear: (1) on the outside container or wrapper of a substance and on a container sold separately and intended for the storage of a hazardous substance unless the statement required by Subsection (a) is easily legible through the outside container or wrapper; and (2) on all accompanying literature containing directions for use, whether written or in other form.
