Ephedrine Alkaloid Consumer Protection Act

H.R. 725, the Ephedrine Alkaloid Consumer Protection Act, would establish new safety and sales regulations for dietary supplements containing ephedrine alkaloids. Under this bill, these products would be required to carry specific health warning labels on all packaging and advertisements. Additionally, the bill would ban the sale of these supplements to anyone under the age of 18 and require retailers to keep the products behind the counter or in restricted areas rather than on open shelves.
