Executive Summary
Connecticut measure resembling California's Proposition 65 would require warning labels on products that contain toxic substances; SB 1030 was subject to a Public Health Committee hearing March 15. Although bill exempts OTC drugs and dietary supplements, in a March 13 letter to co-sponsors Sen. Tony Nathaniel Harp and Rep. Mary Eberle, CHPA maintains "we are concerned that...once this precedent is set in Connecticut, it would be very easy to eliminate that protection in the future." CHPA and CTFA contend the bill would unduly worry consumers, place unnecessary relabeling costs on industry and needlessly mirror federal safeguards
