The PPPA requires
The PPPA, or the Poison Prevention Packaging Act, is a U.S. law enacted in 1970 aimed at reducing the risk of children accidentally ingesting hazardous substances, including medications and household chemicals. The act requires that certain household substances be packaged in child-resistant packaging to prevent access by young children.
Key requirements of the PPPA include:
Child-Resistant Packaging: Manufacturers must use packaging that is difficult for children under five years old to open, but still accessible to most adults.
Labeling: Products that are subject to the PPPA must have appropriate labeling indicating that the packaging is child-resistant.
Testing: Packaging must be tested to ensure it meets the standards for child resistance as defined by the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC).
Exemptions: Some products are exempt from the requirements, such as certain medications that are intended for use by adults only or those that are not likely to be harmful to children.
Enforcement: The CPSC is responsible for enforcing the PPPA and ensuring compliance among manufacturers and distributors.
The PPPA has played a significant role in reducing the number of accidental poisonings among children since its implementation. If you need more specific information or details about a particular aspect of the PPPA
