Kan. Admin. Regs. § 4-1-5

Current through Register Vol. 43, No. 49, December 5, 2024

Section 4-1-5 - Label

The label of each product shall show clearly and prominently the following items:

(a) The complete name of the product under which the product is registered under the act;

(b) the name and address of the manufacturer, registrant, or person for whom the product was manufactured. Unless otherwise stated, any name and address on the label shall be considered as the name and address of the manufacturer. If the registrant's name appears on the label and the registrant is not the manufacturer or if the name of the person for whom the product was manufactured appears on the label, the name that appears on the label shall be qualified by appropriate wording that may include "packed for," "distributed by," or "sold by," to indicate that the name is not that of the manufacturer. If the product is manufactured in more than one location or at a location separate from the manufacturer's principal office, then the product label shall state either one of the addresses where the product is manufactured or the address of the manufacturer's principal office;

(c) the EPA registration number, if required under the provisions of FIFRA;

(d) the net contents;

(e) an ingredient statement, which shall meet the following requirements:

(1) The ingredient statement shall appear on the front panel of the label unless the secretary or designee determines that, due to the size or form of the container, a statement on that portion of the label is impractical and permits this statement to appear on another side or panel of the label. If so permitted, the ingredient statement shall be in larger type and more prominent than the surrounding text. The ingredient statement shall run parallel with other printed matter on the panel of the label on which the ingredient statement appears and shall be on a clear, contrasting background and not obscured or crowded;

(2) the acceptable common name of each active ingredient as specified in FIFRA shall appear on the ingredient statement or, if the active ingredient has no common name, the correct chemical name shall be stated. A trademark or trade name shall not be used as the name of an active ingredient unless the trademark or trade name has become a common name;

(3) active ingredients and inert ingredients shall be so designated. The term "inert ingredient" shall appear in the same size type and be as prominent as the term "active ingredient"; and

(4) the percentages of all ingredients shall be determined by weight, and the sum of the percentages of all ingredients shall be 100. Sliding-scale forms of ingredient statements shall not be used;

(f) a first aid statement; and

(g) a warning or caution statement. The warning or caution statement shall appear on the label in a place sufficiently prominent to warn the user and shall state clearly and in nontechnical language the particular hazards involved in the use of the product and the precautions to be taken to avoid accident, injury, or damage to humans and other nontarget organisms.
