Almost 90 percent of alt poisonings occur in tha home. Part of the public health problem comas from *tha fact that many household____. jhazardous substances are new and 'unfamiliar producs, and tha : consumer or user is not awarn of the inherent danger. Matty preparations bear neither adequate warnings to prevent accidental spouse nor information lyaacesiary to assure safe use and 1 stonge. OfW then is no information'about potentially Jiartnfei ingredients on the label and no instructions for first-aid treatment. Thus, a doctor might have to call the nearest Poison Control Center or the manufacturer for information about an anddote. Meanwhile, time is lost--perhaps the time in which a life could be saved. The most practical way provide user* and physiban with the information they need for safe use or first-aid treatment Is the label. 0007-SWP-000005919 i labeling Act The Federal Caust.c Pobon Act was repealed, except as it applied to any food, drug or cosmetic die precautionary warnings and measures necessary for safo use and weff as 'the information needed for appropriate lint-aid or by treat QMj of : injury^.'

For campfo, as writian in 1W0, the law required that aft household-sized container* of i lubstances be libeled to Warn die user of idle danger wid to provide necessary safety information. Uidwre was no over hazardous uniass they were dbtrfouted in a container. The law wag in effect jug what the name implied a labeling law. Aha!1 there was no effbcbve way at dealing with products (hat were so hazardous that they were unsafe for household use. regardless of cautionary labeling. To correct these and other shortcomings. Congress passed and the President signed, on November wnirffir^aftsssaw Federal Hazardous Substances (labeling) Ad to provide: * For inclusion of all hazardous sufastincm, regardew of dietr wrapping, under die safeguards of the Federal Hazardous Substances Act; f * A ban from interstate commercF for those household substances that are so hazardous that warning labels are not adequate safeguards; * A ban on die sale of toys and other diMren't abides containing hazardous substances, regardless of their packaging. One of the most significant changes was reflected by the deletion of die word "labeling* from die tide as the Federal Hazardous Substances Act provides for consumer protection beyond that which can be realized through labeling. 0007-SWP-000005920 COVtKACl Of THt ACT The Act new applies to any hazardous substance intended or packaged in a form suitable for use in the household or by children, which is introduced into interstate commerce or held for sale after tegulatione define hazardous substances intended or packaged : in a form suitable for use in the-- household as those whidt might be btou# into any place whom OMple dwell, or in or around a ^Mad building such as a garage, Orpoa bam, or storage shed.
