ASA opposes proposed amendments to California Article 6, Clear and Reasonable Warnings Short-form Warnings
The American Supply Association submitted comments in response to the California Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment’s (OEHHA) Notice of Proposed Rulemaking: Amendments to Article 6, Clear and Reasonable Warnings Short-form Warnings dated January 8, 2021. The rules formulated in Article 6 dictate the manner in which warnings are provided on products and packaging in order to be in compliance with California Proposition 65.
The ASA Plumbing Division Executive Council approved a position statement on the issue which was documented in a March 22, 2021 letter to the California OEHHA. In addition, ASA was represented by Jim Kendzel, director of codes and standards at a March 11, 2021 virtual hearing on the proposed amendments where Mr. Kendzel provided oral testimony in opposition to the amendments.
