Hazardous Chemical Product Warnings Are Designed To Alert Users Of The Hazards Associated

Commercial sale of hazardous chemical products requires warnings to alert potential users of these products and others who may be adversely affected by these products of the health and physical hazards posed by these products. Four federal agencies, as well as some states, such as California, have issued these warning requirements.
In all cases, hazardous chemical product warnings are designed to alert users to the hazards involved in the intended use (and potential misuse) of the products they cover. For example, detergent labels, although usually colored, look harmless, but corrosive to human tissues. Consumers who use these labels must pay attention to skin and eye contact. Nevertheless, a large number of children are still injured due to the ingestion of these labels. This is probably because they look like toys or candy. After eating, they suffered severe damage to the esophagus, trachea and lung, and even died. Therefore, it is obvious that the accidental misuse of these labels can bring danger to young children.
Similarly, concrete is a highly alkaline material that ...
... is corrosive to the skin when in contact. Still, it's easy to predict that some people working with concrete will kneel inside. They think their clothes can protect them from skin damage. As a result, there are many cases of second and third degree burns suffered by construction workers and ordinary consumers. Therefore, a warning to avoid contact with wet concrete with clothing is necessary.
Finally, chlorine bleach is often used as a bathroom disinfectant in bowls and sinks. Chlorine smoke is a respiratory toxin that can burn lung tissue and therefore requires warning of the effects. However, when ammonia is added to chlorine, dangerous chloramine fumes are immediately generated. Inhalation can cause respiratory arrest and death. Unfortunately, a large number of chloramines poisoning are recorded every year. That's because people mix the two chemicals in an attempt to make a more effective cleaner. As an expected misuse, warnings are required on both liquid bleach and liquid ammonia cleaners not to mix these chemicals together.
So, what is a good warning? Is it a text? A warning statement highlighted on the label? A graphic on the label? Or a combination of the three? The answer depends on the nature of the product and the regulatory authority that specifies the warning. Let's examine four federal and California regulatory requirements for warning labels.
