Why are you conflating right-to-unsubscribe with P65? They are different laws with different enforcement mechanisms. Also consumers don't find P65 useful whereas we see benefit from unsubscribing.

The point was we have these sort of consumer protection laws and nothing has changed. The enforcement mechanisms are weak and designed to make lawyers money more than actually gain compliance.

Given the decades of P65 enforcement - and given the prevalence of "harmful" chemicals imported into this state every day, we have no reason to believe this unsubscribe law will be any different.

Having this law makes people feel like something was accomplished, despite reality.

The unsubscribe law has been on the books for nearly 2 years. Most vendors have changed their processes. I have personally benefited.

I expect nothing less for this law. Show me an example for a relevant law not the P65 BS.
