A preliminary state proposal to drastically reduce a 25-year-old safe harbor standard for lead in consumer products has no scientific basis and is likely to lead to unnecessary warnings, the California Chamber of Commerce and an 82-member coalition is arguing.
The CalChamber and coalition made that argument in a comment letter submitted to the state Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment (OEHHA) on a “pre-regulatory” proposal to change the safe harbor level for lead.
The broad-based coalition has been actively engaged in the pre-regulatory process and includes California-based and national organizations and businesses of varying sizes that represent nearly every major business sector that would be directly affected by OEHHA’s proposal.
The coalition participated in the pre-regulatory workshop on the Maximum Allowable Dose Level (MADL) for lead on October 14 in Sacramento.
