What Does PPPA Stand For?

PPPA stands for Poison Prevention Packaging Act

The Poison Prevention Packaging Act (PPPA) is a United States federal law enacted in 1970 to reduce the risk of childhood poisoning from household substances. It mandates that medications and certain household products be packaged in child-resistant containers to prevent accidental ingestion by children. The PPPA establishes regulations for manufacturers, importers, and packagers to ensure safety and compliance, thereby promoting public health and safety.
