Grumbles March 19, 1987 PVC LABELING Aberdeen currently places the OSHA required VCM warning on PVC containers of all product exceeding the 8.5 ppm on criteria level. This practice will have to continue in addition to the new PVC labeling. The VCM warning incorporated in the new label is intentionally different from the language required by the VCM standard. Legal has reviewed the language for both and advises we continue the current practice in addition to the new label.
