More products to get child-resistant packages.
The Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) voted unanimously in October to require child-resistant packaging for cosmetics and household products that contain at least 10 percent hydrocarbons and have a thin, oily consistency. Those are products made with mineral oil or petroleum-based chemicals.
Included on the list are sunscreens and baby oils; makeup removers; nail-enamel driers; massage oils; some types of hair, body, and bath oils; and certain spot removers and metal cleaners. If a child ingests some, it can enter the lungs and bring on a potentially fatal case of chemical pneumonia.
The CPSC requires child-resistant packaging on some 30 types of household cleaners and medicines, under the terms of the Poison Prevention Packaging Act of 1970.
"Child-resistant packaging saves lives," says Ken Giles, a CPSC spokesman. "For aspirin and prescription medicine alone, we can show more than 800 children's lives saved since child-resistant packaging was required."
