Bill Summary
A BILL To ban the sale of products with a high concentration of sodium nitrite to individuals, and for other purposes.
AI Summary
This bill, titled the "Youth Poisoning Protection Act," aims to ban the sale of consumer products containing a high concentration of sodium nitrite, defined as 10% or more by weight. Specifically, any such product would be considered a banned hazardous product under the Consumer Product Safety Act. The bill does not prohibit commercial or industrial uses of high-concentration sodium nitrite, nor does it apply to sodium nitrite found in regulated categories like drugs, devices, cosmetics, food, poultry products, meat products, or egg products. The term "consumer product" is defined according to the Consumer Product Safety Act, and the ban would take effect 90 days after the act's enactment. The primary goal appears to be preventing access to potentially dangerous sodium nitrite products that could pose a risk to youth, though the specific rationale for the concentration threshold and potential harm are not elaborated in the bill text.
