Duncan: I don't know of any product marking requirements. I expect California to be on the forefront of any such requirements. I was able to find some references to forms, examinations and assistance being required to be provided in Spanish to Hispanic California workers by the California OSHA (Cal-OSHA) at: http://www.dir.ca.gov/samples/search/query.htm But I didn't find anything about products, either consumer or industrial, needing bilingual labeling.
