New Pharmacy Requirements for CPSC-Regulated Products: Community pharmacies will have to comply with new Consumer Product Safety Commission requirements for manufacturers, distributors, and retailers to test and certify certain consumer goods, including some drug packaging affected by the Poison Prevention Packaging Act. The new law goes into effect in February, and will require pharmacies to be able to access manufacturer and distributor “certificates of compliance” for products that are sold in that pharmacy that are regulated by CPSC. Products include some prescription items, most OTC items, and other products such as childrens’ toys. Pharmacies can comply with the new law if they can access the manufacturers’ compliance certificates electronically. NCPA is in the process of developing member education for complying with these regulations.
