A thermosensitive label rendered unusable by removal from its first application includes a thermosensitive color-forming layer on one side of a substrate and a remoistenable adhesive on an opposite side of the substrate. The substrate is selected to have a tensile strength less than that necessary to separate the substrate from a surface after its first application thereto without ripping. The activation temperature of the thermosensitive color-forming layer is selected so that attempts to remove the label from its first application by means of heat, or steam, cause discoloration of the label.
