This petition was rejected

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:

We can't accept your petition because the UK Government and Parliament aren't responsible for the issue you raise.

The EU, not Government or Parliament, decides what warning labels have to go on packaging. Most of the labels on packaging, such as traffic light nutrition labels and litter campaign labels, are there due to voluntary schemes.

You could start a new petition asking the UK Government to encourage the industry to add labels to essential oils and scented candles to raise awareness of the danger to pets.
