Webinar attendees will learn about:
- California’s Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment (OEHHA) proposal to amend regulations for providing “clear and reasonable warnings” for exposures to Prop 65 listed chemicals
- AHPA's advocacy efforts and partnership with a coalition headed by the California Chamber of Commerce (CalChamber) to amend OEHHA's Prop 65 warning proposal
- CalChamber's economic analysis to challenge OEHHA’s “false and unsupported” assertion that its proposed amended regulation will not have a significant adverse economic impact on businesses
- Pulegone added to the Proposition 65 list of carcinogens, but naturally occurring pulegone is exempt
- The pending lawsuit against OEHHA that challenges the current maximum allowable daily level (MADL) of 0.5 mcg for lead exposures and AHPA's advocacy efforts in regarding this lawsuit
- The unsuccessful lawsuit against Beech-Nut which successfully argued that daily exposure to a Prop 65-listed chemical in a food could be determined by averaging consumption over 14 days
- Legislation introduced to clarify when a person does not knowingly and intentionally expose an individual to a Prop 65-listed chemical and AHPA's support of this bill
- 60-day notices sent to California medicinal marijuana dispensaries regarding a failure to provide warnings for exposure to marijuana smoke and AHPA resources for companies that may be impacted by these actions
- The proposed listing of Aloe vera whole-leaf extract and goldenseal root powder as chemicals "known to the state to cause cancer" under the automatic Labor Code listing procedure.
