Suffocation Warning Plastic Bag Requirements and Regulations in the United States

In the United States, the regulations for suffocation warnings on plastic bags are primarily governed by the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC). Here are the key requirements and guidelines:

CPSC Regulations

1. Warning Labels:
   • Plastic bags must carry a warning label stating that the bag can pose a suffocation risk to children. Common phrasing includes:
     • "WARNING: To avoid danger of suffocation, keep this bag away from babies and children."
   • Labels should clearly indicate the danger and provide instructions on safe use.
2. Font and Size:
   • The warning must be printed in a legible font size and style, ensuring it is easily readable by consumers.
3. Placement:
   • The warning must be prominently placed on the bag itself, often on one side or at the top where it can be easily seen before the bag is opened or used.
4. Graphic Symbols:
   • In some cases, graphic symbols may be included alongside the text to enhance understanding, particularly for non-English speakers.

Additional Considerations

• Children's Products:
  • If the plastic bag is part of a product intended for children, additional regulations may apply, emphasizing safety and labeling requirements.
• Material Safety:
  • Manufacturers must ensure that plastic bags meet specific safety standards to minimize the risk of suffocation, especially for bags used in packaging toys or children's items.
• Compliance and Enforcement:
  • The CPSC actively monitors compliance with these regulations and can take action against manufacturers or retailers that fail to meet safety standards.
