RE: Mislabeling

[Dave Derenzo <dave@uic.edu>]

Sorry if someone else has quoted this but 49 CFR 172.502 states:

"(a) Prohibited placarding.  Except as provided in paragraph (b) of this 
section, no person may affix or display on a packaging, freight container, 
unit load device, motor vehicle or rail car --- (2) Any sign, 
advertisement, slogan (such as "Drive Safely"), or device that, by its 
color, design, shape or content could be confused with any placard 
prescribed in this subpart."
