Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 143 / Tuesday, July 26, 2011 / Proposed Rules 44507 

packaged in containers that are not seethrough. We are docketing this request 

as a petition under the Poison 

Prevention Packaging Act (‘‘PPPA’’). 15 

U.S.C. 1471–1477. 

The PPPA authorizes the Commission 

to issue requirements that certain 

household substances be sold in childresistant containers. 15 U.S.C. 1471– 

1477. Child-resistant packaging 

requirements currently apply to torch 

fuel and lamp oil. (More specifically, 

the child-resistant packaging 

requirements apply to ‘‘kindling and/or 

illuminating preparations,’’ which 

includes ‘‘cigarette lighter fuel, charcoal 

lighter fuel, camping equipment fuel, 

torch fuel, and fuel for decorative and 

functional lanterns, which contain 10 

percent or more by weight of petroleum 

distillates and have a viscosity of less 

than 100 Saybolt universal seconds at 

100° Fahrenheit.’’ 16 CFR 1700.14(7)). 

The PPPA does not authorize the 

Commission to prescribe specific 

packaging designs for household 

substances. 15 U.S.C. 1472(d). However, 

in the case of a household substance for 

which special packaging, i.e., childresistant packaging, is required, the 

Commission may prohibit the packaging 

of such substance in packages which it 

determines are unnecessarily attractive 

to children. Id. Therefore, in order to 

issue a rule requiring that torch fuel and 

lamp oil not be sold in see-through 

containers, the Commission would need 

to determine that the packaging is 

‘‘unnecessarily attractive’’ to children. 

Petitioner asserts that certain 

petroleum distillates, including torch 

fuel and lamp oil, as currently 

packaged, resemble juice. Petitioner 

notes that because young children enjoy 

the taste of juice and are accustomed to 

drinking it regularly, packaging 

petroleum distillates in clear plastic 

bottles causes needless danger, as 

children may mistake it for juice. 

Petitioner states that ‘‘the New Jersey 

Poison Information and Education 

System stated in June 2008 that four 

people were hospitalized, one was 

critically ill, and one killed due to torch 

oil being mistaken for apple juice.’’ 

Petitioner also states that ‘‘from 2002 

through 2009 the Annual Report of the 

American Association of Poison Control 

Centers’ National Data System has 

chronicled the exposure of many young 

children to lamp oils, which includes 

torch fuels.’’ Petitioner’s son died after 

ingesting torch fuel from a clear plastic 

bottle. 

While torch fuel and lamp oil are 

already subject to child-resistant 

packaging and labeling requirements 

under the Poison Prevention Packaging 

Act and the Federal Hazardous 

Substances Act, petitioner asserts that 

additional special packaging is 

necessary. Specifically, petitioner 

requests that the CPSC initiate 

rulemaking ‘‘that would require 

manufacturers of [torch fuel and lamp 

oils] to package the product in 

containers that make it impossible to see 

the product when in the container.’’ 

Petitioner notes that this could be 

accomplished ‘‘by packaging the fuel in 

a solid container or opaque plastic 

child-resistant container or a metal 

container.’’ 

By this notice, we seek comments 

concerning this petition. Interested 

parties may obtain a copy of the petition 

by writing or calling the Office of the 

Secretary, U.S. Consumer Product 

Safety Commission, Room 820, 4330

Copies of the petition are also
