Labeling, Package Pesticides

Overview

Every pesticide product must be labeled clearly and prominently with the following:

1. The name, brand or trademark under which the product is sold;
2. The name and address of the producer, registrant or person for whom produced;
3. The net contents;
4. The product registration number;
5. The producing establishment number;
6. An ingredient statement;
7. Hazard and precautionary statements for human, domestic animal hazards and environmental hazards;
8. The directions for use; and
9. The use classifications.

All labeling must be clearly legible to a person with normal vision and must be likely to be read and understood by an ordinary individual. Labels must be in English, but a second language may be added as long as the English label is present.

All required label text must:

1. Be set in 6-point or larger type;
2. Appear on a clear contrasting background; and
3. Not be obscured or crowded.
