Product Compliance

The Product Group is committed to providing excellent legal representation to international, national, regional, and local clients in matters relating to product compliance issues. We advise
manufacturers, distributors, and retailers on package design, Safety Data Sheets, and website compliance.

The Product Group provides strategic advice on consumer product safety and OSHA’s Hazard Communication Standard (HazCom) along with various state requirements and schemes such as CARB, TSCA, and Green Product Certification.

We have advised domestic and international companies on ensuring compliance with various federal and state regulations including the Federal Hazardous Substances Act, Consumer Product Safety Act, Occupational Safety and Health Administration, and California Proposition 65 on minimizing risks associated with the use, marketing, and sale of products in the United States. MMM&K further advises companies on market entry analysis and strategy involving product labeling and warnings, Safety Data Sheets, and litigation avoidance.

The Product Group’s regulatory practice encompasses compliance, enforcement, and litigation in a wide range of construction and consumer products such as joint compounds and wall boards, stone slabs, floor and wall tile, paints, primers, wood, laminate, architectural films, and vinyl.

MMM&K attorneys also counsel manufacturers, suppliers, and distributors on the complex and technical aspects of regulatory compliance to protect clients against claims of unlawful, false, and misleading product labeling as well as product component toxicity, including for products containing carcinogens and reproductive toxicants such as crystalline silica, benzene, and phthalates.
