5. The product I have selected is Humira (adalimumab), manufactured by Abbvie. I chose Humira as it is a new medication that my younger sister and mother have started to use to treat their Chrons Disease. I have personally had to help both of them with their injections and thought it would be a great option for this discussion post. More specifically, I have chosen the Starter kit package for the Humira Pen that contains the first three injections. Taking it a step further, I will consider the outer packaging that would be seen before ever opening the product. I will evaluate the efficacy of the product packaging under the listed categories.
6. Safety: On the issue of safety, there are blatant call-outs on where TO and TO NOT open the package. There are also call-outs on refrigerating but not freezing the product as well as using the product subcutaneously. 

Warranties: There is an express warranty that states that the product is used to treat Chron’s Disease, Ulcerative Colitis, and Hidradenitis Suppurativa.

Adequacy of Instructions: The instructions are not very clear on the external packaging. The instructions are provided, however, once the package is open. I think this is more effective for this product as the administration process has many steps. 

Defects: There are no defects listed on/with the packaging. 

1. Liability: Liability would only occur if there were defects with the packaging. 
2. Humira is administered by following along with the directions provided in The Complete App. The app also tracks when injections were complete and where on the leg they were administered. The advanced The Complete App makes up for what the provided packaged instructions lack.

4. *I have used standard packaging found on google for my image as the packaging for my family contains personal information that also makes some of the package labels illegible.

Hello Class, 

The product I chose is Electronic contact cleaner. There are varies safety precautions. This needs to be used in an area with a lot of ventilation. Product should not be handled around food or children. The instructions are quite clear on the labeling. The first sentence of the instructions states to ensure the spray point opening is facing away from your face. The product also states that it is in compliance with Boeing D6-17487 which incorporates four evaluations into the analysis. To ensure that the product can be safely used, several tests are carried out (CLEANO INC, 2022). The tests include a Sandwich Corrosion Test, Acrylic Crazing Test, Paint Softening Test and Hydrogen Embrittlement Test (CLEANO INC, 2022).

When looking into The Federal Hazardous Substances Act, I found that my product “indicates that your product may require hazardous substances labeling under the FHSA and its accompanying regulations. Hazardous substances labeling is covered under the FHSA–an Act administered by the CPSC. Federal enforcement regulations pertaining to the FHSA can be found under 16 CFR part 1500” (CPSC, 2022). In order to be considered a hazardous substance, a product must meet both of these criteria: it must be capable of causing serious injury or illness when handled or used in the normal course of business, including reasonable ingestion by children; and it must be toxic, corrosive, irritating, strong sensitizer, fire- or smoke- or pressure-generating through decomposition (CPSC, 2022).

The Federal Hazardous Substances Act (FHSA) regulations require hazardous household products to be marked with precautionary labels to help customers store and use them securely, as well as tell them what to do immediately in the event of a spill or accident (Federal Hazardous Substances Act (FHSA) requirements 2022). Certain commodities may be prohibited from sale if they are shown to be harmful or their hazard is so great that labeling mandated by Act is insufficient to protect consumers, as provided for in this Act.

As stated by the legislation, the Federal Hazardous Materials Safety Administration only applies to things that can be carried into or near a place where people dwell during reasonable anticipated purchase, storage, or usage. According to the policy’s coverage rules, the garage, shed, carport, and any additional outbuildings owned by a home are all protected (Federal Hazardous Substances Act (FHSA) requirements 2022). It is required by law for hazardous household products to be labeled in order to inform customers of the dangers that these products pose and what they can do to protect themselves and their children from those risks. Depending on the contents of the product and the chance that purchasers would come into contact with any dangers it may contain, the product must be labeled appropriately. Among the types of objects that must be labeled are those that are potentially hazardous in some way, such as those that are toxic or corrosive, flammable or combustible, an irritant, or an exceptionally intense sensitizer. A product must have the potential to cause serious harm or sickness to customers, including children, during or after their regular or reasonably anticipated handling or usage in order to be classed as dangerous (Federal Hazardous Substances Act (FHSA) requirements 2022).
