What is a “Mercury-added Product”?
A mercury-added product is any formulated or fabricated product that contains mercury, a mercury compound, or a component containing mercury, when the mercury is intentionally added to the product (or component) for any reason. A fabricated mercury-added product is a combination of individual components, one or more of which has mercury added, that combine to make a single unit. A formulated mercury-added product is a chemical product, including but not limited to laboratory chemicals, cleaning products, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, and coating materials that are sold as a consistent mixture of chemicals. Biological products, prescription drugs, and over-the-counter drugs regulated by the United States Food and Drug Administration are not included under these requirements.
