美国联邦贸易委员会提出了对合理包装与标注法案的修正案，此修正案规范了对日用消费品的标签要求。日用消费品在法案中的定义如下：“任何食品、装置、化妆品和任何其它正常通过零售代理商和机构生产或销售的，供个人或家庭日常活动使用或消耗的产品。”

合理包装与标注法案中的标签要求致力于向消费者提供精确的产品信息，以供消费者购买时进行比较，这些信息诸如产品名称、生产商地址、净含量（个数、重量或容积），以此来预防日用消费品包装和标签的不公正和欺诈行为。

U.S. FTC Proposes Amendments to Fair Packaging and Labeling Act

The U.S. Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has proposed amendments to the Fair Packaging and Labeling Act (FPLA), which regulates requirements for labeling of “consumer commodities.” Consumer commodities are defined in the Act as “any food, device, or cosmetic, and any other article, product, or commodity that is customarily produced or distributed for sale through retail sales agencies or instrumentalities for consumption or use by individuals for purposes of personal care or in the performance of services ordinarily rendered within the household, and which usually is consumed or expended in the course of such consumption or use.”

The labeling requirements under FPLA are intended to provide consumers with accurate information about the products they are buying for value comparison, such as name and address of manufacturer, and net contents in terms of units, weight or volume; and to prevent unfair or deceptive packaging and labeling of consumer commodities.
