SAN
FRANCISCO, Aug. 19, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- This year's
Prop. 65 Conference will be the first in person meeting since the
COVID pandemic. Over two hundred businesses, trade associations,
attorneys, and regulators are expected to attend the one-day
gathering.*
Building on last year's successful virtual event, this year's
Prop. 65 Conference will explore the ramifications of the
groundbreaking case, Lee v. Amazon, which allows online
retailers to be sued for failing to provide a Prop. 65 warning for
third party products sold on their websites—despite the existence
of a Federal law that shields internet providers from liability
over third party provided information.
Other panels will include discussions:
- for stakeholders to reach out to Prop. 65 regulators on issues
affecting business;
- on what it means to bring a Prop. 65 action in "the Public
Interest";
- on what companies need to do before and after getting a Prop.
65 notice; and
- on regulatory updates on hot button issues concerning,
acrylamide, glyphosate, PFAS, cannabis and THC, and BPA.
This year's Prop. 65 Conference will be chaired by
Renee D. Wasserman, shareholder at Rogers Joseph
O'Donnell. Renee has nearly 40 years of litigation experience
representing the retail industry, including helping national
retailers and their manufacturers and suppliers comply with
Proposition 65. She has represented clients in some of the biggest
Prop. 65 cases including Environmental Law Foundation v.
Beech-Nut Nutrition Corp.; People et al., v. Costco Wholesale Corp.
et al.- Prop 65 Fish Cases JCCP; and CERT v Starbucks, Corp., Brad
Barry Co. Ltd. et. al.
David Roe, who was
instrumental in drafting Prop. 65 in 1987, will be the lunch time
speaker.
*Due to continued COVID-19 uncertainties, this year's Conference
will be both in person and virtual.
