EPA labels on pesticides must contain one of the signal words DANGER/POISON, WARNING, or CAUTION.

• A. False
• B. True
• C. Not always
• D. Sometimes

Answer: (B)

Signal words on pesticide labels quickly convey how dangerous the product is and prompt appropriate precautions. The EPA requires that every label with acute toxicity display one of these words on the front panel so users can assess risk at a glance. DANGER (poison) is used for highly toxic products and signals a severe hazard that can cause serious harm or death; WARNING indicates a moderate hazard; CAUTION signals lower acute toxicity. This labeling practice helps determine necessary PPE and safe handling steps, and it’s a mandatory part of the label. That’s why the statement is true—the other options imply exceptions that don’t apply to EPA pesticide labeling requirements.
