Poison Prevention Package Act

The purpose of the Poison Prevention Packaging Act (PPPA) is to Protect children under the age of five from poisonings and deaths which may occur when children open containers of hazardous products, and eat or drink the contents. The law requires certain products to be in child-resistant packaging.

The PPPA requires special packaging for certain substances.

Special packaging must meet the performance specifications of 16 C.F.R. § 1700.15.

The importer or the domestic party that packages any substance that requires special packaging must certify that the special packaging meets the performance specifications of 16 C.F.R. § 1700.15.

Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act (CPSIA)

Under Section 102 a general certification requirement has been extended to products subject to any similar rule, standard, ban, or regulation under any Act enforced by the Commission. Certification must be based on a test of the product or a "reasonable testing program.”

Responsibility for Child Resistant & Senior Adult Package Testing Falls Directly on the Manufacturer Filling the Package.
