           Subpart D_Human Hazard and Precautionary Statements

 

Sec.  156.66  Child hazard warning.



    (a) Each pesticide product must bear on the front panel of the label 

the statement ``Keep Out of Reach of Children.'' That statement, or any 

alternative statement approved by EPA, must appear on a separate line in 

close proximity to the signal word, if required. The statement is 

required on Toxicity Category IV products that do not otherwise require 

a signal word.

    (b) In its discretion, EPA may waive the requirement, or require or 

permit an alternative child hazard warning, if:

    (1) The applicant can demonstrate that the likelihood of exposure of 

children to the pesticide during distribution, marketing, storage or use 

is remote (for example, an industrial use product); or

    (2) The pesticide is approved for use on children (for example, an 

insect repellent).

    (c) EPA may approve an alternative child hazard warning that more 

appropriately reflects the nature of the pesticide product to which 

children may be exposed (for example, an impregnated pet collar). In 

this case, EPA may also approve placement on other than the front panel.
