16 CFR 1700.5 - Noncomplying package requirements.
§ 1700.5
Noncomplying package requirements.
To make household substances that are subject to requirements for special packaging readily available to elderly or handicapped persons who are unable to use those substances in special packaging, section 4(a) of the act authorizes manufacturers and packers to package such substances in noncomplying packaging of a single size provided that complying packaging is also supplied and the noncomplying packages are conspicuously labeled to indicate that they should not be used in households where young children are present. The purpose of this § 1700.5 is to implement section 4(a) of the act by prescribing requirements for the labeling of noncomplying packages.
(a) Labeling statement.
(1) The statement “This Package for Households Without Young Children” shall appear conspicuously, and in accordance with all of the requirements of paragraph (a) of this section, on the package of any household substance subject to the special packaging requirements of this part 1700 that is supplied in noncomplying packaging under section 4(a) of the act, unless the package bears the substitute labeling statement in accordance with all of the requirements of paragraph (b) of this section.
(i) Not less than 1/16 inch in height on packages the principal display panel of which has an area of 7 square inches or less.
(ii) Not less than 3/32 inch in height on packages the principal display panel of which has an area of more than 7 but not more than 15 square inches.
(iii) Not less than 1/8 inch in height on packages the principal display panel of which has an area of more than 15 but not more than 25 square inches.
(iv) Not less than 3/16 inch in height on packages the principal display panel of which has an area of more than 25 but not more than 100 square inches.
(v) Not less than 1/4 inch in height on packages the principal display panel of which has an area of more than 100 square inches.
(5) (i) For the purpose of obtaining uniform type size for the required statement for all packages of substantially the same size, the area of the principal display panel is the area of the side or surface that bears the principal display panel, which shall be:
(b) Substitute labeling statement.
If the area of the principal display panel, as determined in accordance with paragraph (a)(5) of this section, is too small to accommodate the statement required by paragraph (a)(1) using the type size required by paragraph (a)(4), the substitute statement “Package Not Child-Resistant” may be used. This substitute statement must comply with all of the requirements for size, placement, and conspicuousness prescribed by paragraph (a) of this section.
