CK&E Sponsors 2016 PCPC Emerging Issues Conference

Posted by:

Conkle, Kremer & Engel is proud to once again sponsor the Personal Care Products Council Emerging Issues Conference on November 10, 2016 at the Ritz Carlton Hotel in Marina Del Rey, California.

John Conkle will attend the conference on behalf of CK&E to address current legal trends and developments in the cosmetic and personal care products industry.  This annual event by the PCPC – the leading national trade association for the cosmetic and personal care products industry – is a must-attend for beauty companies across the country, with its unique focus on the many challenges that are on the horizon for the beauty industry.  The presentation this year will include a particularly timely focus on international trade issues affecting the cosmetics industry, including appearances by industry representatives from Canada and Mexico.

This year’s conference is particularly topical panel discussion entitled “2016 Elections: What happened and what it means for you!”   The panel included Dan Schnur, a leading political strategist and Director of Jesse Unruh Institute of Politics at University of Southern California, which runs the USC-Los Angeles Times Daybreak Poll that was one of the few polls to correctly predict Donald Trump’s election.  In comments during their PCPC presentation, the panel noted that if President Trump follows through with pledges such as environmental regulation rollbacks, it is likely that California will respond by enacting its own additional rules and regulations.

The Conkle Firm Presents at PCPC Emerging Issues Conference

Posted by:

Conkle, Kremer & Engel attorneys John Conkle and Kim Sim made a well-received presentation on emerging legal trends in the cosmetic and personal care products industry at the Emerging Issues Conference in Santa Monica, California.  Their topics included recent developments concerning hazardous waste regulation and trends in advertising and class action litigation affecting the personal care products industry – such as attacks on labeling products as “natural,” the California Organic Products Act.  CK&E’s presentation included an update on California’s regulation of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in consumer products, an issue which has particular urgency because the California Air Resources Board is presently requiring survey responses from all responsible persons engaged in the manufacture or sale of a wide array of consumer products that may have VOCs potentially affecting air quality.
