What US Federal Hazardous Substances Act (15 USC ch 30): Hazardous Household Product Labeling and Bans requires
The Federal Hazardous Substances Act (15 U.S.C. ch. 30) requires precautionary labeling of hazardous household products and authorizes the banning of those too dangerous for household use, administered by the Consumer Product Safety Commission. Section 1261 provides the definitions, including hazardous substance and misbranded hazardous substance, which is a hazardous substance intended for household use that lacks the required cautionary labeling such as the signal word, a statement of the principal hazard, precautionary measures, first aid instructions and the instruction to keep out of the reach of children. Section 1263 sets out the prohibited acts, including the introduction into interstate commerce of a misbranded or banned hazardous substance. Section 1262 authorizes the Commission to issue regulations declaring substances to be hazardous and to require special labeling. Section 1274 authorizes the banning of hazardous substances, including toys and articles intended for children that present an electrical, mechanical or thermal hazard. Section 1264 sets the penalties: a violation of section 1263 is punishable by a fine of not more than 500 dollars or imprisonment for not more than 90 days for a first offense, rising for intent to defraud or mislead or for a repeat offense to imprisonment for not more than 5 years and a fine determined under title 18. The Act is the legal foundation for US hazardous household product labeling.
