Alternate-language versions of the label, in addition to the label specified in figure 3, may also appear on the top flaps of the package as long as they are physically separate from one another. A different representation of the generator may be substituted for accuracy if consumers are more likely to recognize the substituted representation as the generator contained within the packaging.

The remaining text shall be in type whose uppercase letters are not less than 0.1 inch (2.5 mm) high.(ii) The signal word "DANGER" shall appear in white letters on a safety red background.
