According to Kerrie Campbell, partner, and Michael Bhargava, associate, for law firm Manatt, Phelps & Phillips LLP, the time for interested parties to raise concern is now. "As we have learned from the enactment of the Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act of 2008 (CPSIA), vague laws can lead to unnecessarily harsh unintended consequences that may not serve the objective of effective product safety," they wrote in a statement. "While S. 1165 is in its infancy, this is the optimal time to weigh in on the legislation to prevent vagueness and overbreadth that could impose an unnecessary or disproportionate burden on businesses, without effectively advancing safety concerns."
