Sec.  1500.81  Exemptions for food, drugs, cosmetics, and fuels.

    (a) Food, drugs, and cosmetics. Substances subject to the Federal 
Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act are exempted by section 2(f)(2) of the act; 
but where a food, drug, or cosmetic offers a substantial risk of injury 
or illness from any handling or use that is customary or usual it may be 
regarded as misbranded under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act 
because its label fails to reveal material facts with respect to 
consequences that may result from use of the article (21 U.S.C. 321(n)) 
when its label fails to bear information to alert the householder to 
this hazard.
    (b) Fuels. A substance intended to be used as a fuel is exempt from 
the requirements of the act when in containers that are intended to be 
or are installed as part of the heating, cooling, or refrigeration 
system of a house. A portable container used for delivery or temporary 
or additional storage, and containing a substance that is a hazardous 
substance as defined in section 2(f) of the act, is not exempt from the 
labeling prescribed in section 2(p) of the act, even though it contains 
a fuel to be used in the heating, cooking, or refrigeration system of a 
house.
