You are going to replace'vP* with an "b* JLn front of -the production number od both the Carton tod the can lid. It would bo possible to utilize tbs formula suffix letter on each product being reformulated to determine whether the material In the can or carton was manufactured under the new formula. This would require, hewever, that the suffix letter on each formula be Known. The use of the "L" Instead of tire "P* ahead of the production number will make the Job of Identifying the new material much Ctoier. You have Indicated that OaVJbrook's stock would be purged of materials hot meeting tbe Chicago lead limit as acceptable material was put Into stock. Where no acceptable formula is available the material would oat be shipped Into the Chicago area. Oskbrook would still hare stocks Of thess materials, however, as they do ship to many locations outside of Chicago. The warning label sticker for exterior products in excess of the .06 level is now on order end should be delivered to HUTS $VJ by June 1. This will allow you to soil in Chicago exterior products with lead in excess of .06# as long as these materials are already in the hands of our customers or are shipped from Distribution Unite after July 1. Z understand that this label Is not to be fixed to goods which are shipped from the plant after July 1 and that a label carrying* the Appropriate warning, not a sticker, would have to be used on plant shipments. We do not plan to have any labels prepared' with this warning. As new formulas come through meeting the lead limit, you will want to continue to use the "h" to designate those Items which we will be able to cell after the January 1, 1973 cutoff on using the label stickers. A list of Y-Llne products which MWT8 yl7 order* from other regions has been given to Dr. H. J. Kiefer at Dick Haviland*8 request so that these plants might also convert to the low lead formula as one becomes GLD012534 L W. MAY 1 5 13/2 1 Ch ic a g o mu l aw -?
