Comment-19680-P. Cowan
I do understand the concern in keeping the people of CA safe, however sometimes it seems that by doing so, you put us in harms way rather than helping. My husband has been on blood thinners for a number of years. When he need an OTC, the only thing he can turn to is Acetaminophen. Acetaminophen has been a dependable OTC for 64 years. I am concerned that if you place a prop 65 warning on these medications, it will put him and many others at risk when choosing an OTC. They may turn to an NSAID which would be harmful to them, much more than the risk associated with acetaminophens. Acetaminophen has been on the market since 1955 with no known issues. I have to wonder why that California is now looking at a medication that has been widely used by many and when used as directed with no side effects or harms. I do hope that you will look at the harm you would do to all those on blood thinners, have ulcers and other health condition that prevent them from taking NSAIDs. Ask yourself what harm you will be doing by placing a prop 65 warning on an OTC that has been used safely and effectively for more than 64 years!
