Cannabis and Delta-9-THC Exposure Warnings

A warning for exposure to cannabis (marijuana) smoke from consumer products, delta-9 THC from ingested products, delta-9-THC from vaping or dabbing products, and delta-9-THC from dermally applied products can be provided in one of the following ways:

  1. On a posted sign, shelf tag, or shelf sign, at each point of display of the product.
  2. On the product label.
  3. Via an electronic device or process that automatically provides the warning to the in-person purchaser prior to or during the purchase.

IMPORTANT TRANSLATION NOTE: Where a specific sign, label, or shelf tag used to provide a warning for a cannabis product intended to be smoked includes consumer information in a language other than English, the warning must also be provided in that language in addition to English.

When providing a warning in a language other than English, the name of the chemical should be translated into that language. If there is no equivalent chemical name in that language, the name of the chemical may be provided in English.
