Sec. 740.2  Conspicuousness of warning statements.

    (a) A warning statement shall appear on the label prominently and 
conspicuously as compared to other words, statements, designs, or 
devices and in bold type on contrasting background to render it likely 
to be read and understood by the ordinary individual under customary 
conditions of purchase and use, but in no case may the letters and/or 
numbers be less than \1/16\ inch in height, unless an exemption pursuant 
to paragraph (b) of this section is established.
    (b) If the label of any cosmetic package is too small to accommodate 
the information as required by this section, the Commissioner may 
establish by regulation an acceptable alternative method, e.g., type 
size smaller than \1/16\ inch in height. A petition requesting such a 
regulation, as an amendment to this section, shall be submitted to the 
Dockets Management Branch in the form established in part 10 of this 
chapter.
