What is the law regarding child resistant containers or CRCs?
Since 1970, the Consumer Products Safety Commission has enforced the Poison Prevention Packaging Act (PPP) (15 U.S.C. 1471 – 1476). The Act requires child-resistant packaging for various drugs and household products. Child-resistant packaging is designed to be significantly difficult for children under the age of five to open or obtain a toxic amount within a reasonable time and not difficult for normal adults to open. Child-resistant packaging does not mean the packaging is child proof. Some children can open child-resistant containers.
