Prohibits consumer products that contain a high concentration of sodium nitrite (defined as 10% or more by weight) by designating those products as banned hazardous products under the Consumer Product Safety Act. The ban excludes certain commercial and industrial uses and does not apply to items that meet statutory definitions of drugs, medical devices, cosmetics, or foods (including poultry, meat, and egg products).
The prohibition becomes effective 90 days after the Act is enacted, creating a near-term compliance deadline for manufacturers, importers, distributors, and retailers of affected consumer products.
