In addition, the Warning shall either be placed prominently on the Products’ label, be placed as an insert into the packaging or container of the Defendants’ Products, or on an invoice that accompanies the shipment of the Defendants’ Products. The Warning shall be displayed with such conspicuousness, as compared with other words, statements, designs, or devices on the webpages, packaging, container, or invoice, so as to render it likely to be read and understood by an ordinary individual prior to use.
