Hi Catherine, 

I'm doing fine. It was good to meet you in person at the pre-registration 

meeting. 

One minor correction. The second sentence under container disposal should 

read, "DO not reuse or refill this container." After that minor change, 

everything else with the label should be ok. 

Thanks, 

Colin
