"Refill this container with pesticide only."

The statement

"Refillable Container. Refill this container with pesticide only. Do not reuse this container for any other purpose."

Or the narrower version

The same sentence with a common chemical name in place of the word pesticide. Which restricts the container to one substance rather than to a category.

So there is a decision inside the required text

Name the category and keep the container flexible, or name the chemical and bind it to one product. Both wordings are permitted.

The second limb is the interesting one

Do not reuse this container for any other purpose. So a refillable container is refillable with pesticide and is not a general-purpose container afterwards.

Which is narrower than refillable sounds

The permission is to refill, not to repurpose. A container that has held a pesticide is not released into general use by being refillable.

Compare the special packaging rule in the aromatherapy property

There, 16 CFR 1700.15(c) says special packaging shall not be reused at all. Here reuse is permitted and channeled.

Two schemes, two attitudes to the same question

One forbids reuse because the mechanism cannot be trusted twice. The other permits it and restricts what may go back in.

A refillable container is usually a larger format

Which is the practical reason this shelf is unlikely to be one: nothing here exceeds 120 mL and the format is a 30 mL dropper bottle.

And nothing here is designated either way

We publish no refillable or nonrefillable field, so the designation has to come from the manufacturer rather than from our product page.

And the designation travels with the container

It is set by whoever made the container rather than by whoever fills it, which is why it is a purchase attribute and not a decision a filler gets to make later.

Ask before printing

Because the sentence is different depending on the answer, and the answer is an attribute of the container you bought.

40 CFR 156.140, "Identification of container types". For a nonrefillable container the label must bear the statement "Nonrefillable container.", a reuse statement chosen from options in the section of which the household wording is "Do not reuse or refill this container.", and a recycling or reconditioning statement, the options including "Offer for recycling if available." and "Offer for reconditioning if appropriate." The section also requires a lot number or other code used by the registrant or producer to identify the batch of the pesticide product which is distributed and sold. For a refillable container the required statement is "Refillable Container. Refill this container with pesticide only. Do not reuse this container for any other purpose.", or the same sentence naming a common chemical name in place of the word pesticide. The full set of permitted option wordings is in the section and is not enumerated here. law.cornell.edu

The Davis Pack Supply catalog, measured 19 October 2026. We publish material, capacity, neck finish, height, width, liner, temperature range, case pack and color. We publish no field recording whether a container is refillable or nonrefillable, which is the single attribute 40 CFR 156.140 turns on.

Written from 40 CFR 156.140 and from the catalog as it stood on 19 October 2026. Part 156 is pesticide labeling and reaches a pet grooming product only if that product is a pesticide, which turns on the claims made for it; nothing here rules on any product. Our catalog publishes no field recording whether a container is refillable or nonrefillable, which is the attribute that section turns on. This group's shelf is 80 glass containers with nothing over 120 mL and no pump, sprayer or foamer, while the catalog holds 358 plastic containers between 200 and 600 mL and 121 pump, sprayer and foamer closures that are not routed here.
