US: Norm labelling en verpakking wasmiddelcapsules

Recently the first safety standard for packaging and labeling so-called laundry pods was approved by ASTM International. The recommendations were negotiated over the past year by a group of industry representatives, consumer and medical groups and officials from the federal Consumer Product Safety Commission.
The new standard calls for manufacturers to add a bitter taste to the soluble film encasing the detergent to deter children from putting the pods in their mouths, and to make the film take longer to dissolve once wet. The recommendations also include options for making containers harder for curious toddlers to open (The New York Times, 15 september 2015).
