I would also suggest reading the hazard info on the SDS instead of the label.

Frances et al.:

There is no requirement for font size on reagent bottles, only that the information is present, and, sometimes not even that on the actual bottle.  (There is a 2015 USDOL/OSHA interpretive letter on "Practical accommodation for the labeling of small packages..." at this URL:  https://www.osha.gov/pls/oshaweb/owadisp.show_document?p_table=INTERPRETATIONS&p_id=30161 )

If the situation warrants increased eye protection, you could increase to goggles or goggles+face shield. Or, if you're like me, progressive lenses on my safety glasses.  (It sucks growing old, but the alternative sucks more.)

Dear Colleagues,

I am wondering about the newest size of font used on purchased reagent bottles.
There are some chemicals that I would prefer to have a 12 inch distance between my eyes and the bottle.
I think of this as a safety problem.  Is it?
