Illinois Poison Prevention Packaging Act

Illinois · Public Safety · §§ 430-40-1 to 430-40-7 · 14 sections

Overview

This act governs the packaging of hazardous household substances, requiring that products capable of causing serious injury or illness to children be sold in special child-resistant packaging, and it defines the terms that fix the scope of that duty, including what counts as a household substance and what constitutes its labeling. Its principal mechanism is incorporation by reference: the special packaging standards adopted under the federal poison prevention packaging law, as they exist or are later amended, become the state's own standards, and administration rests with the director of the state public health agency. The act also reaches electronic cigarettes and the liquids sold for use in them, subjecting those products to child-safe packaging requirements.
