PART 1500_HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCES AND ARTICLES; ADMINISTRATION AND 
ENFORCEMENT REGULATIONS--Table of Contents
 
Sec.  1500.133  Extremely flammable contact adhesives; labeling.

    (a) Extremely flammable contact adhesives, also known as contact 
bonding cements, when distributed in containers intended or suitable for 
household use may be misbranded under the act if the containers fail to 
bear a warning statement adequate for the protection of the public 
health and safety.
    (b) The following warning statement is considered as the minimum 
cautionary labeling adequate to meet the requirements of section 2(p)(1) 
of the act (repeated in Sec.  1500.3(b)(14)(i)) with respect to 
containers of more than one-half pint of contact adhesive and similar 
liquid or semiliquid articles having a flashpoint at or below 20 [deg]F. 
as determined by the method in Sec.  1500.43, when the only hazard 
foreseeable is that caused by the extreme flammability of the mixture:

                                 Danger

                           Extremely Flammable

                       Vapors May Cause Flash Fire

    Vapors may ignite explosively.
    Prevent buildup of vapors--open all windows and doors--use only with 
cross-ventilation.
    Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flame.
    Do not smoke, extinguish all flames and pilot lights, and turn off 
stoves, heaters, electric motors, and other sources of ignition during 
use and until all vapors are gone.
    Close container after use.
    Keep out of the reach of children.
    (c) The words that are in capital letters in the warning statement 
set forth in paragraph (b) of this section should be printed on the main 
(front) panel or panels of the container in capital letters of the type 
size specified in Sec.  1500.121(c). The balance of the cautionary 
information may appear together on another panel provided the front 
panel bears a statement such as ``Read carefully other cautions on ----
-- panel,'' the blank being filled in with the identification of the 
specific label panel bearing the balance of the

cautionary labeling. It is recommended that a borderline be used in 
conjunction with the cautionary labeling.
    (d) If an article has additional hazards, or contains ingredients 
listed in Sec.  1500.14 as requiring special labeling, appropriate 
additional front and rear panel precautionary labeling is required.
    (e) Since the Commission has issued a regulation banning under the 
Consumer Product Safety Act extremely flammable contact adhesives 
covered by this labeling regulation (Sec.  16 CFR part 1302), paragraphs 
(a), (b), (c) and (d) of this section are revoked as to the subject 
products after June 13, 1978.
