HEALTH AND SAFETY CODE
SECTION 108715-108725



108715.  For the purposes of making any household substance that is
subject to a standard established under Section 108685 readily
available to elderly or handicapped persons unable to use the
substance when packaged in compliance with the standard, the
manufacturer or packer, may package any household substance, subject
to the standard in packaging of a single size that does not comply
with that standard if both of the following are present:
   (a) The manufacturer or packer also supplies the substance in
packages that comply with the standards.
   (b) The packages of the substance, that do not meet the standard,
shall bear conspicuous labeling stating: "This package for household
without young children." The department regulation may prescribe a
substitute statement to the same effect for packaging too small to
accommodate the labeling.



108720.  If a household substance subject to such a standard is
dispensed pursuant to an order of a physician, dentist, or other
licensed medical practitioner authorized to prescribe the substance,
then it may be dispensed in noncomplying packages only when directed
in the order or when requested by the purchaser.



108725.  If a household substance subject to such a standard is
packaged pursuant to subdivision (b) of Section 108715 in a
noncomplying package, and the department determines that the
substance is not also being supplied by a manufacturer or packer in
popular size packages that comply with the standard, the department
may, after giving the manufacturer or packer an opportunity to comply
with the purposes of this chapter, require by order that the
substance be packaged by the manufacturer or packer exclusively in
special packaging complying with the standard if it finds, after
opportunity for hearing, that the exclusive use of a special
packaging is necessary to accomplish the purposes of this chapter.
