Executive Summary
CPSC PROPOSED CRP STANDARDS ACCOMMODATING SENIOR ADULTS "may expose more children to potential danger," the Nonprescription Drug Manufacturers Association asserted in a May 20 letter to the Consumer Product Safety Commission. Commenting on a CPSC proposal published in the March 21 Federal Register that would require child-resistant packaging closures to pass senior adult use effectiveness (SAUE) tests ("The Tan Sheet" March 28, p. 6), NDMA maintained that "even a small incremental decrease in child- resistance could inadvertently expose many additional children to potentially harmful substances."
