Bill > S3278

This bill, titled "Reese's Law," aims to protect children and consumers from the hazards associated with the accidental ingestion of button cell or coin batteries. The key provisions are: 1. The Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) must promulgate a consumer product safety standard within one year, requiring child-resistant closures on consumer products that use button cell or coin batteries. The standard must include performance requirements and warning label requirements. 2. Button cell or coin batteries sold or included with consumer products must be packaged in accordance with the Poison Prevention Packaging Act's standards for special packaging. 3. The bill provides an exemption for toy products that comply with existing battery accessibility and labeling requirements, as well as for button cell or coin batteries that comply with the ANSI safety standard. 4. The bill defines key terms, such as "button cell or coin battery," "consumer product," and "toy product," and specifies that the new standards only apply to products manufactured or imported after the effective date.
