Kentucky Hazardous Substances Labeling Act

The Hazardous Substances Labeling Act governs how hazardous substances are labeled and identified when they are sold, shipped, or otherwise distributed, defining the terms and materials it covers and prohibiting distribution that does not conform to its requirements. Enforcement runs through several mechanisms: implementing regulations, examinations and investigations, required records of shipment, stop-sale orders and seizure of noncompliant goods, injunction proceedings, and public notice of enforcement actions. Violations are subject to penalties, and the act requires a hearing before a suspected criminal violation may be reported for prosecution.
