WASHINGTON — The Consumer Healthcare Products Association’s (CHPA’s) Carlos I. Gutiérrez, Vice President of State & Local Government Affairs, released the following statement today following California Gov. Gavin Newsom’s signing of AB 2030:
“CHPA is disappointed that AB 2030, as signed into law, does not strike a better balance between our shared goal of protecting minors and preserving access to safe, beneficial products for adults who use them responsibly. We remain concerned that the law’s broad criteria could restrict access to dietary supplements containing ingredients with legitimate uses beyond weight loss or muscle building, including ingredients widely found in products that support general health, nutrition, and wellness.
“Throughout the legislative process, CHPA worked constructively with lawmakers to address these concerns. We remain committed to working with California policymakers and public health officials on approaches that protect young people while preserving appropriate access and choice for adult consumers.”
