HRS §149A-15.5

Pesticide warning signs for stores

Stores that sell pesticides to the public must put up a warning sign about them. The state will make rules about what the sign says, like how to handle, store, and throw away pesticides, and what number to call if someone is poisoned. Stores can put the sign at the product display or elsewhere in the store.

The statute, as written — Pesticide information signs
