Specifically, you ask if the logo displayed on the submitted product label\nwould be in violation of the prohibited labeling requirements specified in § 172.401(b).\nIn accordance with § 172.401(b), a package containing hazardous materials may not bear any\nmarking or label that by its color, design, or shape could be confused with or conflict with a\nlabel prescribed by the HMR. It is this office's opinion that the size, design and shape of the\nlogo you submitted would not conflict or be confused with the labels prescribed by the HMR.\nTherefore, the submitted logo is not prohibited under the provisions of § 172.401(b).\nI hope this information is helpful.
