Drugs that do not conform to the child-resistant safety restrictions established by the Poison Prevention Packaging Act (PPPA) are considered:

Adulterated
Counterfeit
Misbranded
Expired

The correct answer is: Adulterated

The correct answer is that drugs that do not conform to the child-resistant safety restrictions established by the Poison Prevention Packaging Act (PPPA) are considered misbranded. Under the PPPA, certain drugs must be packaged in a way that is child-resistant to prevent accidental ingestion by children. If a drug is not packaged according to these safety standards, it fails to meet the legal requirements for labeling and packaging, which can lead to it being classified as misbranded. This classification arises because misbranding involves not having adequate labeling or failing to comply with packaging standards that ensure safety and proper use. Adulterated refers to drugs that are contaminated or that do not meet standard purity or quality requirements, while counterfeit refers to drugs that are fake or misleadingly labeled regarding their identity or source. Expired simply indicates that a product has surpassed its expiration date and does not directly pertain to packaging regulations. Therefore, none of these terms directly apply to the failure to conform to child-resistant packaging requirements as effectively as misbranded does.
