PART 156_LABELING REQUIREMENTS FOR PESTICIDES AND DEVICES--Table of Contents
 
           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.
