AI-generated summary, report an errorThis bill would bar manufacturers of consumer products, including food, from selling a smaller-size product in the same or substantially similar packaging used for a prior larger version. A manufacturer would not be liable if the main front panel of the package carries a clear, easy-to-read notice stating both the earlier larger size and the new reduced size. The Federal Trade Commission could write rules to carry out the law. Violations would be treated as unfair or deceptive practices under the Federal Trade Commission Act and enforced by the Commission with its existing powers and penalties.
