Sec. 156.68  First aid statement.

    (a) Product as sold and distributed. Each product must bear a first 
aid statement if the product has systemic effects in Category I, II, or 
III, or skin or eye irritation effects in Category I or II.
    (b) Product as diluted for use. If the product labeling bears 
directions for dilution with water prior to use, the label may also 
include a statement describing how the first aid measures may be 
modified for the diluted product. Such a statement must reflect the 
Toxicity Category(ies) of the diluted product, based upon data for the 
route of exposure (or calculations if appropriate). If the labeling 
provides for a range of use dilutions, only that use dilution 
representing the highest concentration allowed by labeling may be used 
as the basis for a statement pertaining to the diluted product. The 
statement for a diluted product may not substitute for the statement for 
the concentrate, but augments the information provided for the 
concentrate.
    (c) Heading. The heading of the statement may be ``First Aid'' or 
``Statement of Practical Treatment.''
    (d) Location of first aid statement. The first aid statement must 
appear on the front panel of the label of all products assigned to 
Toxicity Category I by any route of exposure. Upon review, the Agency 
may permit reasonable variations in the placement of the first aid 
statement if a reference such as ``See first aid statement on back 
panel'' appears on the front panel. The first aid statement for products 
assigned to Toxicity Categories II or III may appear on any panel of the 
label.
