Reasonable Warning - long
form The note explaining what "consumer information" is helpful to the lab in understanding the test.

The note about formerly court-approved settlement language continuing to be allowed has been
removed. I can understand if Lowe's is choosing not to follow this so I don't have a huge issue with
this being removed.

The note about the lab not evaluating translation accuracy is to make it clear where the lab's
responsibility stops.
