Is PPPA DOA For CBD?

James O’Reilly

ABSTRACT

Wide access to and extensive marketing of flavored forms of cannabidiol (CBD) is likely to lead to many child ingestion incidents, exceeding the current dozens of published medical reports about harms to children. Refusal by the federal agency responsible for child protective packaging use with drug products, the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), to impose package safety control measures, because of CBD’s status as a federally controlled substance, is a missed opportunity to protect against accidental injuries.
