§14335 Limitations on Sale of Other Mercuric-oxide Batteries

Summary

Starting May 13, 1996, no one may sell, offer to sell, or give away for promotion a mercuric-oxide battery for use in the United States unless the battery maker or importer does three things. They must pick a U.S. collection site that has all required federal, state, and local approvals for recycling or safe disposal, tell every buyer where that site is, and give each buyer a phone number for information on sending used batteries there. This rule does not apply to mercuric-oxide button cell batteries.
