Proposed Rule: Requirements for Child-Resistant Packaging; Packages Containing More Than 50 mg of Ketoprofen

The Commission is proposing a rule to require child-resistant packaging for ketoprofen preparations containing more than 50 mg of ketoprofen per retail package. Ketoprofen is a nonsteroidal anti- inflammatory drug and is used to relieve minor aches and pains and to reduce fever. The Commission has preliminarily determined that child- resistant packaging is necessary to protect children under 5 years of age from serious personal injury and serious illness resulting from ingesting ketoprofen. The Commission takes this action under the authority of the Poison Prevention Packaging Act of 1970.
