Question

the anti-tampering act of 1982 requires that _______.
a. manufacturers prove the otc medicines have not been contaminated
b. stores protect otc medicines from foreign agents
c. transportation of otc medicines is done in regulated vehicles
d. packaging of otc medicines are tamper-proof

Explanation:

The Anti-Tampering Act of 1982 was enacted after the 1982 Tylenol tampering deaths, its core requirement focused on ensuring over-the-counter medications have packaging that prevents unauthorized access to the product to stop tampering before it reaches consumers. Option A is incorrect as manufacturers do not need to prove lack of contamination upfront, they need to prevent tampering. Option B is not the primary requirement of this act, as the focus is on packaging, not in-store protection. Option C is unrelated to the scope of this specific act.

Answer:

D. packaging of OTC medicines are tamper-proof
