What are some of the legal issues that may arise when creating a disinfectant product?

Every legal issue you can think of comes into play here: SOME include; Safety of the product. Registration of the product with various agencies for approved use by customers. Product composition - potential patent issues. Product name - potential trademark issues. You should search the internet for issues related to the launch of new consumer products. Then you should hire a lawyer that specializes in new consumer product releases for further assistance.

Sorry I can address the legal issues involved in getting your product patented only.

I am an intellectual property attorney. If you develop a product that works, there is always the chance that there may be an infringement with the Patents of another. You would be well-advised to determine the technology that is in the public domain. Also, you would be well-advised to develop a patent portfolio of your own. These issues need be investigated whenever someone develops a product that is technology driven Of course, if the product does not work, and people become ill from using these recycled soiled dishes, you will have liability. I hope that this helps and good luck with your venture.

Depending on the chemicals you use in your product, you may need to get approval from the federal health department and possibly the Food and Drug people. You may also need to prove that the wipes actually get the dishes as clean as washing does. Assuming you get past all of these issues, you will face the usual difficulties getting a new product to market. Check your local library for books on that subject.
