8  Baby bath aid to have warning statement
 (1) A baby bath aid must have a warning statement.
 (2) Subject to subsection (3), the warning statement must be in the following form:

  WARNING

  Children have DROWNED while using bath aids.

  This is NOT a safety device.

  ALWAYS keep baby within arm's reach.

  NEVER leave baby in care of children.

 (3) In the warning statement:
 (a) the letters of the word "WARNING" must be at least 10 millimetres high; and
 (b) upper case letters (other than in the word "WARNING") must be at least 5 millimetres high; and
 (c) lower case letters must be at least 2.5 millimetres high; and
 (d) the letters must be clearly legible; and
 (e) each side of the triangle must be at least 30 millimetres in length; and
 (f) the exclamation mark in the triangle must be at least 13 millimetres high; and
 (g) the letters, triangles and exclamation marks must be in a colour that contrasts with the background of the warning statement to allow for the warning statement to be easily read.
 (4) The warning statement must:
 (a) be fixed permanently onto the baby bath aid; and
 (b) be located on the baby bath aid in a conspicuous place; and
 (c) be clearly visible when a baby is in the baby bath aid.
 (5) For the purposes of paragraph (4)(a), a warning statement is considered to be fixed permanently onto a baby bath aid if, when conditioned as per subclause 7.3.1 of the US Standard, the warning statement complies with subclause 7.3.3 or 7.3.4 of that standard (as affected by subsection (6)).
 (6) For the purposes of subsection (5), the US Standard is varied by:
 (a) replacing the words "A nonpaper label (excluding labels attached by a seam)" in subclause 7.3.3 with "A warning statement (excluding warning statements attached by a seam)"; and
 (b) replacing the words "A warning label" in subclause 7.3.4 with "A warning statement".
