Title: The Chemical Regulations Landscape: An Overview of Regulations and Trends
Over the last few years the chemical regulatory landscape in the United States, at both the federal and state level, has changed significantly. State legislatures have passed new laws that restrict certain chemicals in products, and agencies have written regulations that implement these laws. Alongside these regulatory developments, public stakeholders continue to take legal action against companies whose products allegedly contain restricted chemicals.
During this webinar, you will get a sense of how chemical regulations generally operate, and how their mechanisms have changed over the years. For example, where once legislators and regulatory agencies focused on the chemicals themselves, we see increase focus on restricting and regulating products that contain those chemicals. We will also discuss some of the litigation trends relating to restricted chemicals, such as what they allege and their outcomes.
