Section 368-2.3 - Labeling standards

(a) A mercury-added consumer product, and its package, sold or offered for sale in New York State by a distributor or retailer must be labeled by the manufacturer in accordance with the provisions of this section, unless an alternative label has been approved by the department in accordance with section 368-2.4 of this Subpart. The label must:

(1) clearly and conspicuously inform the consumer that mercury is present in the product and that the product cannot be disposed of or placed with waste destined for disposal;

(2) be conspicuous to the consumer prior to the purchase of the product and during the installation and removal of the product; and

(3) be affixed to the product and composed of a material sufficiently durable to remain legible and affixed for the useful life of the product.

(b) Automobile manufacturers meet the labeling requirements of this section, with respect to either original equipment or service parts, if new automobiles bear a label on the doorpost that lists the mercury-added components that may be present in such vehicle. Such label shall, to the largest extent possible, be consistent with labeling provisions of other states. An automobile manufacturer may apply to the department for approval of an alternative to the labeling requirement for providing presale notification of mercury content.
