31.021 DETERMINATION OF MISLEADING.
If an article is alleged to be misbranded because the label is misleading, or if an
advertisement is alleged to be false because it is misleading, then in determining whether the
labeling or advertisement is misleading, there shall be taken into account, among other things, not
only representations made or suggested by statement, word, design, sound, or in any combination
thereof, but also the extent to which the labeling or advertisement fails to reveal facts material
in the light of such representations or material with respect to consequences which may result
from the use of the article to which the labeling or advertisement relates under the conditions
of use prescribed in the labeling or advertisement thereof or under such conditions of use as are
customary or usual.
