January 4 f 1974 147-2, Mr. C. Reward #130-2, Nr, 0. How* . *'"*'* HAZARDOUS AJ9 OTHER WARUIKGS OH PACKAGES Hr. Walker* 9 letter of December 14, 1973 appears to recommend package warnings in excess of those required by laws and regulations. Various statements published In the Federal Register reiterate. "Since Congress intended nationwide uniformity in labeling not diverse or inconsistent requirements, any state or local labeling requirement that varies from Federal requirements ia null and void. Furtheri there is also Inference that "where an alleged hazard of the general character dealt with by the Federal Act is not of sufficient degree to require cautionary labeling an a hazardous substance under the Federal act no 6tate or local warning requirements, ean be required." The various products containing asbestos which were found to 'cause ~a contaminated atmosphere sufficient to require labeling have been eo labeled since early 1973. Zt is our intention to meet all Hazardous labeling requirements, however, to misuse hazardous labeling merely weakens the whole system-in the manner of the fable concerning "Cry wolf".
