Bill Wilkening, ADG-1
Manager, FAA Office of Hazardous Materials
This is in response to your April 30, 2004 memorandum
asking whether certain aerosol products are considered
medicinal or toilet articles under 49 CFR 175.10 (a) (4) (i).
The products are insect repellents, bathroom disinfectants
and deodorizers, and clothing and laundry products such as
starch, stain removers, etc.
Section 175.10 (a) (4) (i) permits non-radioactive medicinal
and toilet articles, including aerosols, to be carried in
checked or carry-on luggage by passengers and crew members
aboard an aircraft. For purposes of this section, a "toilet
article" is considered to be a toiletry or other article
used in dressing or grooming oneself. Examples include
perfumes, cosmetics, deodorants, hair sprays, insect
repellents, skin lotions and shaving creams. Household
items such as bathroom disinfectants and deodorizers, and
clothing and laundry products such as starches and stain
removers are not considered toilet articles.
these latter articles may be carried in checked baggage
However,
under the provisions of 49 CFR 175.10 (a) (4) (1ii) and (iv).
I hope this information is helpful.
