HR 7945 Approved in Subcommittee – Nitrous Oxide Safety

Earlier this week, the Subcommittee on Commerce, Manufacturing, and Trade of the House Energy and Commerce Committee held a business meeting that considered 12 pieces of legislation, including HR 7945, the Nitrous Oxide Safety Act of 2026. The bill was forwarded to the full committee with a favorable recommendation by a voice vote. 

The bill would establish that, with certain specified exceptions, a consumer product containing nitrous oxide (NO2) is a banned hazardous product under 15 USC 2057. No new funding is authorized.
