(3) If any word, statement, or other information required to be placed in the labeling by or under authority of this division is not placed thereon with such conspicuousness (as compared with other words, statements, designs, or devices) and in such terms as to render it likely to be read and understood by the ordinary individual under customary conditions of purchase and use; or
