(b) of a particular batch of a registered chemical product;
differ from the approved label for the product or the label required by the established standard for the product, the APVMA may give written notice to any person (the notified person) who has, or has had, possession or custody of any of those stocks or of that batch in this jurisdiction requiring the person to do any one or more of the things mentioned in subsection (2).

(i) to whom the product or that batch has been supplied by the notified person; or
(ii) who has possession or custody of any such stocks directly or indirectly because of a supply by the notified person;
(c) to attach labels to the containers that are the same as the approved label for the product or the label required by the established standard for the product, as the case may be or to destroy any of those stocks or of that batch in the possession or custody of, or recovered by, the notified person or to deal with them as stated in the notice;
