Executive Summary
OTC LABELING MINIMUM TYPE SIZE "SLIDING SCALE" SUPPORTED BY AARP for packages that cannot accommodate the 6-point minimum type size proposed by FDA as part of its OTC labeling overhaul effort in February. In Nov. 7 comments to the agency, the American Association of Retired Persons urges FDA to proceed with establishing a minimum 6-point type size for OTC drug labeling. However, if FDA decides to allow a 4.5-point type size for certain types of packages, the group suggests the agency "adopt a `sliding-scale' type-size minimum, which would increase the type size minimum as the available label space increases."
