Candles, cleaners and other household goods
This lesson is a guide published by CPSC.
Read the guideWhat you'll get
For candles, cleaners and other household goods: CPSC's two-page reference sheet lists the federal rules most consumer products meet, among them the hazardous substances labeling law and child-resistant packaging, and says a product covered by a safety rule needs a General Certificate of Conformity while every maker must report serious hazards. No guide written for household goods turned up, so this sheet comes from the Manufacturing track; use it with CPSC's free Regulatory Robot to find the rules that apply to your product.
