It's official ... MISTER YUK [sic] is not just a logo -- he is used 
in text! From http://www.chp.edu/mryuk/05a_mryuk.php:

"Corporations have placed his face on the product labels of hazardous 
materials, and publishing companies have used the symbol in textbooks 
and standardized tests to represent poisons."
