As a non-chemistry person, I assume the red diamonds are to ensure I don't put this in my mouth?

The first is a standard warning symbol, telling you to read the warnings.

The middle looks to imply that it's harmful to aquatic life; so no flushing, (upside-down fish and a piece of coral)

Third one seems to be dosage frequency, but saying a symbol isn't available. (QHS = taken every night)

The third one is "no GHS symbol", GHS being the Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals.

That makes more sense, I wasn't sure why they would be talking about dosage on a mfr label
