Youth Poisoning Protection Act
This bill bans consumer products containing 10% or more sodium nitrite by weight, classifying them as hazardous under existing safety laws. It directly affects manufacturers and retailers selling such products, including some food items and industrial chemicals. The law requires these products to be removed from the market within 90 days of enactment. The key provision sets a clear 10% concentration threshold for the ban, targeting a specific chemical risk without altering broader safety regulations.
