Oct. 8 – US: Products covered in Household Product Labeling Bill

From the NPCA:

Sen. Al Franken (D-MN) on Sept. 23 introduced legislation that would require companies to list ingredients in household products…the Household Product Labeling Act of 2009 (S. 1697) would require that “each covered product introduced or delivered for introduction into interstate commerce shall bear a label that states completely, accurately and legibly all of the ingredients of such product.” Covered products include:

* Household cleaning products
* Air fresheners and deodorizers
* Floor and furniture polish
* Dishwashing soap
* Drain cleaners
* Laundry detergent and dryer sheets
* Epoxies
* Paints or stains
*Any other similar consumer product designated by the Consumer
Product Safety Commission for purposes of this Act.

We will keep you informed if any regulatory changes result.
