N.Y. Labor Law § 297: Unclean factories

§ 297. Unclean factories. 1. If the commissioner finds evidence of

contagious disease in a factory, he shall affix to the articles therein

exposed to contagion a label containing the word "unclean" and shall

notify the local department or board of health, which after disinfecting

the articles may remove such label.

2. If the commissioner finds that the factory or work room therein is

unsanitary, the commissioner may, upon filing in his office a written

order stating the reasons therefor, affix to any articles therein a

label containing the word "unclean." Such label shall be removed only by

an authorized representative of the commissioner and not until such

articles are removed from the factory and cleaned, or until the factory

or work room is made sanitary.
