Hazardous Products are items that pose a risk to health, safety, or the environment due to their chemical, physical, or biological properties. These products can include substances like toxic chemicals, flammable materials, corrosive acids, or biological agents that can cause harm if not handled, stored, or disposed of properly. Hazardous products are typically labeled with warning symbols and safety instructions to inform users of potential dangers and proper handling procedures. Effective management of hazardous products is crucial to prevent accidents, injuries, or environmental damage, and often involves adherence to regulatory standards and safety protocols.

1. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) – Regulates consumer products, including hazardous products, to ensure they do not pose unreasonable risks of injury or death.
2. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) – Oversees hazardous chemicals and substances, particularly those that can impact the environment and public health. The EPA enforces regulations related to the safe use and disposal of chemicals.
3. Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) – While primarily focused on workplace safety, OSHA sets standards for hazardous chemicals used in workplaces and mandates labeling and safety data sheets (SDS) for these substances.
4. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) – Regulates products related to food, drugs, and cosmetics, including hazardous substances that may be present in these items.

These agencies work together to ensure that hazardous products are safely managed, labeled, and handled to protect consumers and the environment.
