OR Rev Stat § 431A.260 (2021)
2021 Oregon Revised Statutes|Volume : 12 - Public Health|Chapter 431A - Public Health Programs and Activities|Section 431A.260 - Requirement to remove or substitute high priority chemicals of concern; waivers; exemptions.

(1) On or before the date on which a manufacturer of a children’s product submits the third biennial notice required under ORS 431A.258 for a chemical that is present in a children’s product, the manufacturer must remove or make a substitution for the chemical pursuant to ORS 431A.263, or seek a waiver under ORS 431A.265, if the chemical is present in a children’s product that is: (a) Mouthable; (b) A children’s cosmetic; or (c) Made for, marketed for use by or marketed to children under three years of age. (2) A manufacturer with 25 or fewer employees may apply for a two-year extension of the date specified in subsection (1) of this section to meet the requirements of this section. (3) Manufacturers are exempt from meeting the requirements of this section for children’s products described in subsection (1) of this section that contain high priority chemicals of concern for children’s health used in children’s products at levels that are at or below allowable levels for children’s products as established by the Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act of 2008, P.L. 110-314, 122 Stat. 3016, as in effect on July 27, 2015. (4)(a) The Oregon Health Authority shall adopt rules providing for additional exemptions from the requirements of this section. (b) For purposes of this subsection, any consumer product safety standard adopted under federal law that establishes allowable levels for children’s products of a high priority chemical of concern for children’s health used in children’s products is presumed to establish the maximum allowable level of the chemical that may be used in children’s products that are sold or offered for sale in this state. The authority may not require a manufacturer in compliance with the federal standard to also comply with the provisions of this section unless the authority establishes in the rulemaking process that a lower maximum allowable level for children’s products of a high priority chemical of concern for children’s health used in children’s products than the allowable level set by the federal standard is necessary to protect human health and welfare.

OR Rev Stat § 431A.263 (2021)
2021 Oregon Revised Statutes|Volume : 12 - Public Health|Chapter 431A - Public Health Programs and Activities|Section 431A.263 - Process for substituting chemicals; rules.

(1)(a) When a manufacturer of children’s products sold or offered for sale in this state removes a high priority chemical of concern for children’s health used in children’s products from a children’s product sold or offered for sale in this state that is subject to ORS 431A.258 and substitutes another chemical, the manufacturer must submit a hazard assessment to the Oregon Health Authority that explains how the children’s product, and any substitute chemical the children’s product contains, is inherently less hazardous than before the substitution was made. (b) When a manufacturer of children’s products sold or offered for sale in this state removes a high priority chemical of concern for children’s health used in children’s products from a children’s product as described in subsection (1) of this section and does not substitute another chemical, the manufacturer must submit notice to the authority that the manufacturer is no longer using the chemical or a substitute chemical. (2) The authority shall establish by rule the methodology that a manufacturer must use and the standards that a children’s product must meet in order to comply with the hazard assessment requirements described in subsection (1)(a) of this section. (3) The authority shall approve or disapprove a hazard assessment within 180 days after its submittal. If the authority fails to act within 180 days, the hazard assessment is deemed approved, and the manufacturer may continue to sell or offer for sale in this state the children’s product for which the manufacturer submitted a hazard assessment. If the authority disapproves a hazard assessment, the manufacturer may submit a revised hazard assessment for consideration within 180 days after the authority’s disapproval. [2015 c.786 §6]

(1) The Oregon Health Authority shall grant a waiver to a manufacturer of children’s products that applies for a waiver in order to comply with ORS 431A.260 if the application: (a) Includes an alternatives assessment demonstrating that removal of the high priority chemical of concern for children’s health used in children’s products is not financially or technically feasible; or (b) Includes a quantitative exposure assessment demonstrating that the high priority chemical of concern for children’s health used in children’s products is not reasonably anticipated to result in exposure based upon an analysis of leachability and bioavailability of the high priority chemical of concern for children’s health used in children’s products. (2) An alternatives assessment or quantitative exposure assessment submitted under subsection (1) of this section must be conducted in a manner consistent with the guidance and frameworks for such assessments in effect on July 27, 2015, and as established by the United States Environmental Protection Agency, the Interstate Chemicals Clearinghouse, the State of California, as part of that state’s program for reducing toxic chemicals in consumer products, or other states or nongovernmental organizations with the applicable expertise, or as developed by the authority by rule. The authority may recommend or require that a manufacturer follow particular guidance or frameworks in order to meet the requirements of this section. (3) If the authority determines that an alternatives assessment or a quantitative exposure assessment as described in this section is incomplete, the authority may obtain the assessment from another party. The manufacturer that submitted the assessment that was determined to be incomplete must pay for the assessment performed by the other party. (4) The authority shall approve or disapprove a waiver application within 180 days after its submittal. If the authority fails to act within 180 days, the waiver application is deemed approved, and the manufacturer may continue to sell or offer for sale in this state the children’s product for which the manufacturer submitted a waiver application. If the authority disapproves a waiver application, the manufacturer may submit a revised waiver application for consideration within 180 days after the authority’s disapproval. [2015 c.786 §7]

2021 Oregon Revised Statutes|Volume : 12 - Public Health|Chapter 431A - Public Health Programs and Activities|Section 431A.300 - Definitions.

As used in ORS 431A.300 to 431A.325: (1) "Household product" means any product intended for use under any of the following circumstances: (a) In, on or around any structure, vehicle, article, surface or area associated with the household, including but not limited to nonagricultural outbuildings, noncommercial greenhouses, pleasure boats and recreational vehicles. (b) In or around any preschool or child care facility. (2) "Task force" means the Poison Prevention Task Force. (3) "Toxic household product" means any product listed in ORS 431A.308 that is customarily produced or distributed for sale for use in or about the household or is customarily stored by individuals in or about the household.

OR Rev Stat § 431A.303 (2021)
2021 Oregon Revised Statutes|Volume : 12 - Public Health|Chapter 431A - Public Health Programs and Activities|Section 431A.303 - Legislative findings.

The Legislative Assembly finds that: (1) Most poisonings involve children under six years of age. (2) The federal Poison Prevention Packaging Act of 1970 requires child-resistant safety packaging for various toxic household products in order to inhibit a child’s ability to access poisonous substances. This effort, in conjunction with the formation of poison control centers, education efforts, availability of ipecac syrup for home treatment and labeling requirements, has significantly reduced the number of poisonings. However, most poisonings occur while the product is in use, rather than when stored, and many toxic household products are exempt from the child-resistant safety packaging laws. (3) The National Safety Council, the American Medical Association and the American Association of Poison Control Centers have noted that the addition of nontoxic aversive agents to toxic household products may make these products so unpalatable that many children reject the products upon, or shortly after, tasting them. These organizations have urged manufacturers of toxic household products to add nontoxic aversive agents to their products in addition to child resistant closures in order that ingestion of these products may be reduced, thus providing another means to prevent or mitigate severe poisonings. (4) Aversive agents are currently being used in various household products to mitigate child poisonings. [Formerly 431.875]
