Actually, only a couple of companies manufacture a majority of the pepper spray on the market. Other companies simply purchase the filled canisters and put their label on them for resale. Only a few companies manufacture their own quality OC formula.
The Consumer Product Safety Commission regulates the labeling of OC spray as a hazardous substance under the Federal Hazardous Substance Act. A prominent and conspicuous warning stating the principal hazard, precautionary measures to take when using the product, and first aid measures to be used should appear on the spray.
