(a)The package is sold in its unbroken form and is clearly and conspicuously marked “consumer package” or “gift pack”.
(b)The package is clearly and conspicuously marked to indicate the contents of the unexposed portion.
(c)The contents of the lower layers or the unexposed portion are of the same size and quality as the top layer or the exposed portion.
