Webinars

Part 1: Sustainable Marketing Claims: What to Say and How to Say It As companies grapple with how to convey information on ingredients and their uses to consumers, they enter a potential legal minefield of marketing claims. In Part 1 of the webinar series, JC Walker (Partner, Keller and Heckman LLP) will review the legal history of marketing claims and offer advice about how to best avoid legal problems with how you market your products.

Part 2: SB 258 and Prop 65: An Emerging Conflict? Part 2 of the series will examine the interaction between SB 258 and Prop 65 interact when it comes to labeling products. These two laws each have specific requirements when it comes to labeling, possibly creating pitfalls for the regulation and marketing of consumer products. Before companies settle on their California labels for next January, Peg Carew Toledo (Counsel, Arnold & Porter LLP) will describe potential conflicts between SB 258 and Prop 65, review recent legal developments, and identify emerging issues for companies to consider before January 2021.

Part 3: Creating a New Label: Compliance, Marketing, or Both? In Part 3 of the webinar series, attendees will hear from a practitioner of label design and compliance on some of the tricks of the trade and how best to visually comply with new label requirements from SB 258. Information can be portrayed in any number of ways, and consumers respond better to some ways better than others.

Volunteer members of the Household & Commercial Products Association (HCPA) have compiled critical information contained in the Aerosol Propellants: Considerations for Effective Handling in the Aerosol Plant and Laboratory Manual for the convenience of its members and the aerosol industry. This manual contains information on propellants shipping, receiving, storage, and handling; compressed and soluble gas propellants; location and construction, ventilation, gas detection, electrical equipment, piping systems, fire prevention and control in propellant charging and pump rooms; disposal of rejected aerosol containers; and laboratory safety. Essentially, basic safety needed by all aerosol product manufacturers and laboratories. HCPA is proud to bring together volunteer speakers to share their expertise on each section of the manual in this webinar series format. The webinar series is for both beginners and those that need a refresher on the safety aspects of propellants in an aerosol facility or laboratory.
