Product labeling.

• Skin product labels: Skin product labels provide information about the ingredients of the product, its intended use, and its potential hazards. They also typically include warnings about the risks of allergic reaction, as well as first-aid instructions and emergency contact information.

Explain the federal requirements for product labeling.

The federal requirements for product labeling vary depending on the type of product. However, some general requirements include:

• The label must be clear and understandable.
• The label must be prominently displayed.
• The label must include the name and address of the manufacturer or distributor.
• The label must include the net weight or volume of the product.
• The label must include the ingredients of the product.
• The label must include any warnings or cautions that are necessary for safe use.

Discuss at least two limitations of product labels and what can be done to address these limitations.

Two limitations of product labels are:

• They can be difficult to read, especially for people with low literacy skills or vision problems.
• They can be incomplete or inaccurate, especially for complex products or products that are subject to frequent changes.

To address these limitations, product labels can be made larger and easier to read, and they can be translated into multiple languages. Additionally, product manufacturers can provide additional information about their products through online resources or customer service representatives.

Discuss the purpose and requirements for shipped container and workplace labels.

Shipped container labels provide information about the contents of the container, the hazards of the contents, and the handling and storage requirements for the contents. They are typically required by the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT).

Workplace labels provide information about the hazards of chemicals and other substances that are used in the workplace. They are typically required by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA).

The purpose of both shipped container and workplace labels is to protect workers and the public from the hazards of hazardous substances.

Discuss possible implications of missing or incorrect label information.

Missing or incorrect label information can have serious implications, including:

• Injuries or death
• Property damage
• Environmental damage
• Economic losses

To avoid these risks, it is important to ensure that all product labels are complete and accurate.
