Child-resistant packaging is designed to be significantly difficult for children under the age of five to open or obtain a toxic amount within a reasonable time and not difficult for normal adults to open. Child-resistant packaging does not mean the packaging is child proof. Some children can open child-resistant containers. The CPSC revised its child-resistant packaging regulations in 1996 to ensure the packaging is both child-resistant and "adult-friendly". Now child-resistant packaging is tested with children under the age of five and with adults ages 50-70. A variety of adult-friendly child-resistant packaging styles are now being used.
