Bill overview
Reese’s Law aims to protect children from accidental ingestion of button cell or coin batteries. It requires the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) to create safety standards for products containing these batteries, including warning labels and child-resistant closures. The bill also mandates that these batteries be packaged in a child-resistant manner, aligning with existing regulations. This legislation seeks to reduce the risk of injury associated with children swallowing small batteries.
