Practical treatment, statement label

Statement of Practical Treatment (162.10(h)(l)(iii))—EPA prefers the term practical treatment to first aid and generally does not permit the use of the word antidote , since few pesticides have specific antidotes. The agency also prefers that all practical treatment statements appear on the front panel of the label, but only requires front panel placement for pesticides falling into Toxicity Category I on the basis of oral, dermal, or inhalation toxicity. With EPA s permission users may place this statement elsewhere on the label if a reference... 

If the statement of practical treatment is not on the front panel, there must be a statement on the front panel that tells yon where the information is in the labeling. 

In addition to product identification, the second major category of information that must he included in pesticide labels encompasses a series of warnings and precautionary statements covering the human, environmental, and physical and chemical hazeu-ds posed by the product (162.10(h)). The intent of these statements is to alert the pesticide user to potential hazards from exposure, to inform him of precautionary measures which will help avoid or reduce the possibility of injury, and to instruct him on practical treatment or other remedial steps he can take if exposed.
