A product falls into one class that calls for Danger and another class that calls for Warning. What appears on the supplier label?
Danger only
Warning only
Both signal words
Neither signal word
Show the answer
A. Danger only
Only one signal word appears on a label. When Danger is required for any of the product's classifications, Warning is not shown, because the more severe word already alerts the reader.

The product identifier
