How was the overall impression of headings, surrounding text, comparisons and credentials assessed against 40 CFR 156.10(a)(5)?
The company publishes no record of that assessment; the rule is read as it is written, and it reaches the impression a page gives, not only the sentences on it.
40 C.F.R. § 156.10(a)(5) states that “a pesticide or a device declared subject to the Act pursuant to § 152.500, is misbranded if its labeling is false or misleading in any particular including both pesticidal and non-pesticidal claims.” Among the examples it lists are “a false or misleading statement concerning the effectiveness of the product as a pesticide or device”, “a false or misleading comparison with other pesticides or devices” and “a true statement used in such a way as to give a false or misleading impression to the purchaser”. The last of those is the one that reaches headings, surrounding text and credentials.
