§1263 Prohibited Acts

Summary

You must not put misbranded or banned hazardous substances into interstate commerce, or do things that cause them to become misbranded or banned. You must not change, remove, or hide labels while a hazardous substance is being shipped or held for sale if that makes the product mislabeled. You must not accept or sell a mislabeled or banned hazardous substance. You must not give a false guarantee about a hazardous substance, unless you relied on a signed guarantee from a U.S. resident seller. You must allow inspections and give required records to the agency that enforces the law. You must not sell a hazardous substance in a reused or clearly food, drug, or cosmetic container (those terms mean what they do under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act). You must not make a mislabeled or banned hazardous substance in the District of Columbia or in U.S. territories without a legislative body. You must not use or reveal trade-secret process information except to the Commission, its staff, or a court in a related case. You must notify the Commission about exports when required, follow Commission orders, and you must not sell lead solder with more than 0.2 percent lead unless it clearly warns of the lead content and that using it on potable water systems is prohibited.
