Analysis of methylene chloride product labelling

Article Abstract:

Consumer products containing methylene chloride required labelling to warn consumers of its health hazards. A survey on consumer use behavior was done to find out the impact of labelling. Findings indicate an increase in precautionary behavior despite the incidence of fewer customers reading the labels. There is a complex relationship between label reading and precautionary behavior.

Risk and effectiveness criteria for using on-product warnings

Article Abstract:

Guidelines for warning labels have not completely provided a basis for hazards for consumer products. Warning labels and other safety-information materials should be used properly to influence user behavior. Standards for the deployment and design of warning labels are presented which have been derived from effectiveness research, accident data and risks related to product usage.

Use of auditory icons as emergency warnings: Evaluation within a vehicle collision avoidance application

Article Abstract:

Auditory icons conveying information about system events by analogy with everyday events in the context of emergency warnings, can be understood more quickly and easily than abstract sounds. This was tested, and it was found that auditory icons produced much faster reaction times than conventional warnings, although they suffered from more inappropriate responses.
