AI Summary
This bill aims to protect children from detergent poisoning by establishing safety standards for the sale of liquid detergent packets. It requires the Department to promulgate regulations within 120 days to address the design, color, and composition of liquid detergent packets to make them less attractive and less likely to cause injury or illness to children through ingestion, aspiration, or ocular contact. The regulations must also include standards for warning labels to inform consumers of the potential risks. The bill prohibits the distribution, sale, or offering for sale of any liquid detergent packet that does not meet these new safety requirements.
