This legislation aims to prevent inhalant abuse by regulating compressed air duster products. It defines an "aerosol duster product" as one using pressurized gas, primarily for dust removal, and "recreational inhalation" as knowingly inhaling propellants to become intoxicated. The bill mandates the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) to classify specific hydrofluorocarbons, such as 1,1-difluoroethane (HFC-152a) and 1,1,1,2-tetrafluoroethane (HFC-134a) , as hazardous substances. Consequently, any aerosol duster product containing more than 18 mg of these substances will be deemed a banned hazardous substance under the Federal Hazardous Substances Act. To ensure effectiveness, the Act prohibits manufacturers from stockpiling these banned products. It also empowers the CPSC to add other harmful propellants used for recreational inhalation to the hazardous substances list, while clarifying that FDA-regulated drugs are exempt from these provisions.
