What US Poison Prevention Packaging Act (15 USC ch 39A): Child-Resistant Packaging Standards requires
The Poison Prevention Packaging Act (15 U.S.C. ch. 39A) authorizes the Consumer Product Safety Commission to require special packaging to protect children from serious personal injury or illness from handling, using or ingesting household substances. Section 1471 provides the definitions, including household substance and special packaging, which is packaging designed to be significantly difficult for children under five years of age to open or obtain a toxic or harmful amount within a reasonable time, yet not difficult for normal adults to use properly. Section 1472 authorizes the Commission to establish special packaging standards for a household substance where it determines that the degree or nature of the hazard to children requires it and that special packaging is technically feasible, practicable and appropriate. Section 1473 permits a manufacturer or packer to also market a single size in non-complying packaging for households without young children, provided complying packaging is supplied and the package bears a conspicuous label. Section 1476 addresses preemption and references the penalties, which are enforced through the Federal Hazardous Substances Act, since a substance not packaged in compliance is treated as a misbranded hazardous substance. The Act is the legal foundation for US child-resistant packaging of drugs and hazardous household products.
