registration for one or more of the following reasons:
(1) the product label does not meet applicable federal
requirements;
(2) registration of the product would create a cross-tier
violation;
(3) the label includes a statement, design, device,
or representation that is obscene or indecent;
(4) the commission determines the product would create
a public safety concern; or
(5) the commission determines the product violates
any other section of the Code.
(b) No alcoholic beverage label may contain any statement,
design, device, or representation of or relating to any guarantee,
irrespective of falsity, other than a bona fide guarantee to refund
the purchase price if the consumer is dissatisfied.
(c) If the commission denies an application to register
a product, the applicant is prohibited from shipping or importing
into or within the state, manufacturing or offering for sale, or distributing
or selling the product in the state using the denied label.
