Nitrous oxide products would face new federal rules on sales and packaging to prevent misuse.
This bill would create new federal rules for nitrous oxide products, like those used for whipped cream. It would ban sales to anyone under 21, require warning labels, and restrict how and when these products can be sold. The goal is to prevent misuse while keeping them available for their intended uses.
Today, there are no specific federal rules for non-medical nitrous oxide products. If this bill becomes law, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) would create new rules for packaging, labeling, product size (limiting food-use products to 8 grams), and sales. Sales to anyone under 21 would be banned, and retailers could face penalties up to $14,232 for violations, while manufacturers could face up to $21,348 per violation.
