§ 82-312. Labeling of lead-based substances.

(a)

No person shall store, sell, or transfer for retail purposes a lead-based substance unless the container used in retail trade bears a warning statement that shall be an integral part of the label and shall be placed in a conspicuous contrast with other printing appearing on the container. The statement shall be in substantial conformance with state and federal laws and regulations and recommended standards of the Federal Hazardous Substances Labeling Act (15 U.S.C. § 1261 et seq. (1994)) and shall further conform in working and type style and size as follows or shall be an approved equivalent:

Type size and style
WARNING!	10 PT. CAPS
CONTAINS LEAD	10 PT. CAPS
HARMFUL IF EATEN	10 PT. CAPS
DO NOT APPLY ON TOYS, PLAY EQUIPMENT, FURNITURE, WINDOW SILLS OR OTHER INTERIOR OR EXTERIOR SURFACE OF ANY BUILDING OR METAL STRUCTURE. KEEP AWAY FROM HEAT AND OPEN FLAME. AVOID PROLONGED CONTACT WITH SKIN AND BREATHING OF VAPOR OR SPRAY MIST. CLOSE CONTAINER AFTER EACH USE. (10 PT. CAPS)
USE WITH ADEQUATE VENTILATION	(12 PT. CAPS)
KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN	(10 PT. CAPS)

 

(b)

This warning statement shall also be required on accompanying literature including directions for use. Where tinting or coloring added to substances at the point of sale produces a final product with more than one-half percent lead, the labeling requirements of this section shall apply.

(3)

Labels on containers of lead-based substances manufactured prior to the effective date of the ordinance from which this article was derived shall be made to conform to the above labeling requirements by the application of a separate warning label, which shall be affixed directly upon the existing label. Provided, however, that after one year from the effective date of the ordinance from which this article was derived the warning shall be an integral part of the label on the container.
