Cups and possibly other foodservice containers were inadvertently excluded from the exemption until the Foodservice & Packaging Institute (FPI) stepped in to correct the error.

It also delays enforcement of the law until January 1, 1998, and reduces civil penalties for violations. A third amendment exempts containers holding products regulated under the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide and Rodenticide Act and those used to ship hazardous materials.
