## Summary

**classify common duster propellants as hazardous** to curb inhalant abuse. The bill would direct the Consumer Product Safety Commission to list 1,1-difluoroethane (HFC-152a), 1,1,1,2-tetrafluoroethane (HFC-134a), and their derivatives as hazardous and ban aerosol duster products that contain more than 18 milligrams of those substances. - Families and youth at risk would face fewer readily available compressed-air dusters because products with more than 18 mg of the named propellants would be banned. - Manufacturers and importers would have to limit production and imports to avoid "stockpiling," which is defined as exceeding 105% of their base period monthly manufacture or import rate during the prior 13 months. - The Consumer Product Safety Commission could add other harmful propellants by regulation and would be required to prevent sale or distribution of products that meet the ban. The text also excludes products regulated as drugs by the Food and Drug Administration from the measure.
