Cleaning Product Ingredient Communication Act

This bill amends the Fair Packaging and Labeling Act to create a federal standard for ingredient disclosure on cleaning product labels. It requires manufacturers to list intentionally added ingredients on the label and on a website, with exceptions for confidential business information, and sets rules for naming, ordering, and protecting trade secrets.

Sec. 2, Cleaning product labeling information standard: This section adds a new section 14 to the Fair Packaging and Labeling Act. It defines terms like 'cleaning product,' 'fragrance allergen,' and 'confidential business information.' Manufacturers must list each intentionally added ingredient on the product label, except for confidential business information, and provide a toll-free number and website. Fragrance allergens at or above 0.01% must be listed or noted. Fragrance ingredients and colorants can be listed as 'fragrances' or 'colorants.' Ingredients must be listed in descending order by weight, but those under 1% can be grouped. Naming must follow specific dictionaries or systems.

Sec. 2, Posting on manufacturer website: Manufacturers must post ingredient lists, fragrance ingredients at or above 0.01%, functional purposes, and safety data sheet links on a publicly available website in an electronically readable format. The information must be within a few clicks from the label website. Chemical Abstracts Service numbers must be included unless unavailable or confidential.

Sec. 2, Protection of confidential business information: Manufacturers can withhold ingredients that are confidential business information, using a generic name from the Inventory or other approved systems. Suppliers must also comply with generic naming rules.

Sec. 2, Pre-existing products: Products made before the effective date are compliant if they show the manufacture date or a code with a way for consumers to find the date.

Sec. 2, Enforcement: A cleaning product is considered compliant if it meets California's Cleaning Product Right to Know Act of 2017.

Sec. 2, Relationship to other laws: This section does not repeal or supersede several other federal laws, including the Federal Trade Commission Act and the Toxic Substances Control Act.

Sec. 2, Federal preemption: This section does not preempt state or federal common law remedies for mandatory ingredient disclosure.

Sec. 2, Compliance with Federal Hazard Communications Standard: Employers must make the required information readily accessible in the same way as safety data sheets.

Sec. 2, Rules of construction: This section does not require disclosure of ingredient weight or manufacturing process, and allows supplemental information as long as it is consistent with the required information.
