I've ordered 100 of their childproof bottle caps, since they are our supplier... and in my (certified mail thank you kindly, just to cover myself) reply to the official letter I attached a 'revised' label to see if they would approve it. I suspect they will say the font is too small... It's a small LABEL for crying out loud...how much verbiage can you PUT on a 1 x 2 5/8ths label. If they approve it, then I WILL continue to sell wth wintergreen. it is, with appropriate cautions, a powerful pain reliever for acute pain, and I'd hate to NOT have it available.

I'll let you know if our new labels are approved. >Called my printer.. and we discussed the 'labeling' issue.

I think! suggested label revisions from the bureau, via email: Front label: CAUTION - HARMFUL IF SWALLOWED. IRRITANT. Back label: Contains methyl salicylate. Avoid contact with skin and eyes. If swallowed, give water and call physician immediately. In case of contact with eyes or skin, flush thoroughly with water. For eyes, get medical attention. Keep out of the reach of children. now... the fact that the product is too small to HAVE a back label is not their problem. and, of course, with all that, you also want to have all the 'identifying' stuff that we normally put on labels... AND who you are and where to find you...also mandated by another gummint branch. all this in 1 x 2 5/8s > >Looking forward to your thoughts/ replies. >And thank you Marge for alerting us this problem.

Guest guest Posted June 30, 2006 Report Share Posted June 30, 2006 Hi All, We also have ordered child resistant caps and have devised a second label as Marge has. These bottles will be packaged in tamper-proof outer packaging. Our labels currently read: WARNING: For topical use only; do not take internally. Use diluted and only with reliable instruction. Keep away from flame; Keep away from children. The second label will read: Contains methyl salicylate: Potentially harmful or fatal if swallowed. All of this information will also be on the outer tamper-proof packaging, along with instructions similar to Marge's advise in case of ingestion. Looking forward to Marge's reply to see if this will suffice based on their response to her. Be Well, Marcia Elston http://www.wingedseed.com " Give thanks for a little and you will find a lot.
