The Fair Packaging and Labeling Act

The Fair Packaging and Labeling Act (FPLA) requires that consumer products are labeled clearly to provide important information about the contents, ingredients, weight, or quantity. The goal is to help consumers make informed choices and compare products accurately. Labels must include details like the product’s weight or volume, the manufacturer's or distributor’s name and address, and any necessary warnings or nutritional info if applicable. This law applies to a wide range of products, including food, cosmetics, and household items, ensuring transparency and fair practices in packaging and labeling.
