HR 1442 Passed House — in Senate

Sponsored by Lori Trahan (D)

Youth Poisoning Protection Act

Bans the sale of consumer products with 10% or more sodium nitrite by weight.

Tradeoff

Restricts access to high-concentration sodium nitrite products to protect against accidental poisoning. Exempts drugs, medical devices, cosmetics, and food products from the ban.

What's in it

See official bill text

Costs $2 million over 2025-2030 to implement and enforce a federal ban on consumer products containing 10 percent or more sodium nitrite by weight.

The $2 million is just the federal cost to administer and enforce the ban—the real economic impact falls on manufacturers and retailers who must stop selling or reformulate products containing high concentrations of sodium nitrite.
