Current through Register 2024 Notice Reg. No. 28, July 12, 2024
(a) A
					 warning is "clear and reasonable" within the meaning of Section
					 25249.6 of the Act if the warning
					 complies with all applicable requirements of this article.
(b) Except as provided in Section
					 25603(c), a
					 warning meets the requirements of this subarticle if the name of one or more of
					 the listed chemicals in the consumer product or affected area for which the
					 warning is being provided is included in the text of the warning. Where a
					 warning is being provided for more than one endpoint (cancer and reproductive
					 toxicity) the warning must include the name of one or more chemicals for each
					 endpoint, unless the named chemical is listed as known to cause both cancer and
					 reproductive toxicity and has been so identified in the warning.
(c) Consumer product exposure warnings must
					 be prominently displayed on a label, labeling, or sign, and must be displayed
					 with such conspicuousness as compared with other words, statements, designs or
					 devices on the label, labeling, or sign, as to render the warning likely to be
					 seen, read, and understood by an ordinary individual under customary conditions
					 of purchase or use.
(d)
					 Environmental exposure warnings must be provided in a conspicuous manner and
					 under such conditions as to make the warning likely to be seen, read, and
					 understood by an ordinary individual in the course of normal daily
					 activity.
(e) The warning content
					 may contain information that is supplemental to the content required by this
					 subarticle only to the extent that it identifies the source of the exposure or
					 provides information on how to avoid or reduce exposure to the identified
					 chemical or chemicals. Such supplemental information is not a substitute for
					 the warning content required by this subarticle.
