Refreshed 1 h ago
Introduced 2026-03-16Topic: economy jobsSummary
AI-generated summary, report an errorThis bill would treat consumer products that contain nitrous oxide as banned hazardous products under the Consumer Product Safety Act, starting 180 days after the bill becomes law. The ban would not cover nitrous oxide products used for medical or dental treatment, commercial food production (including restaurants and caterers), or research and development. It also would not apply to food products, such as canned whipped cream, where nitrous oxide is used as a propellant to push the food out of a pressurized container. The bill defines key terms, including nitrous oxide, which it notes is also called "laughing gas" and "whippits."
