455F.4  Consumer information booklets.

A retailer shall maintain and prominently display a booklet, developed by the department, in cooperation with manufacturers, distributors, wholesalers, and retailer associations and provided to retailers at departmental expense, which provides information regarding the proper use of household hazardous materials and specific instructions for the proper disposal of certain substance categories. The department shall also develop and provide to a retailer, at departmental expense, bulletins regarding household hazardous materials which provide information designated by rule of the commission. The retailer shall distribute the bulletins without charge to customers.

A manufacturer or distributor of household hazardous materials who authorizes independent contractor retailers to sell the products of the manufacturer or distributor on a person-to-person basis primarily in the customer's home, shall print informational lists of its products which are designated by the department as household hazardous materials. These lists of products and the consumer information booklets prepared in accordance with this section shall be provided by the manufacturer or distributor in sufficient quantities to each contractor retailer for dissemination to customers. During the course of a sale of a household hazardous material by a contractor retailer, the customer shall in the first instance be provided with a copy of both the list and the consumer information booklet. In subsequent sales to the same customer, the list and booklet shall be noted as being available if desired.
