My California based company, complies with OEHHA’s 2018 regulation, which provided the option of a short-form warning label. Over the last 3 years we have spent countless hours and hundreds of thousands of dollars to reprint and change labeling on over 1 million labels and product packaging in order to be compliant with the current regulations from 2018. As a small business owner, labor overhead is our number one expense and should this new proposal be passed, this will be another huge setback to the sustainability of our business operating in California. In my humble opinion, overhauling the short-form warning requirements will not address the stated problem of “over-warning.” It will instead just create more confusion, more litigation and impose more costs on small businesses like ours. My company respectfully urges OEHHA to withdraw the proposed rule. Sincerely, Ben H. AMI Inc. Gardena, CA
