Chemical manufacturers and importers are required to label containers to communicate what the chemical is, its hazards and how to protect you. Specifically, labels must have a product identifier, a signal word, hazard statements, pictograms, precautionary statements and the name, address and telephone number of the manufacturer, importer or other responsible party. All of these information must be located together on a label.
