(a) Form of notice.
(1) New York City sales. In New York City, the notice required by Administrative Code § 17-1407 must be posted conspicuously at the point of sale where carpet or carpet cushion is sold or offered for sale. When posted at the point of sale, the sign must be at least 8 1/2" by 14" in size with letters at least one-half inch high.

(3) Internet sales. The notice must also be provided electronically if a carpet business sells carpet or carpet cushion on a website and the carpet or carpet cushion will be installed in New York City.
(b) Text of notice. The notice must read as follows:
