Impactful Policy Frameworks
California Proposition 65 (Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act of 1986) - Updates
Proposition 65 requires businesses to provide warnings to Californians about significant exposures to chemicals that cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Recent amendments have refined warning requirements and enforcement protocols.
Jakroo, already Prop 65 compliant, must continually monitor and adapt its material sourcing and labeling practices to meet evolving chemical exposure warning standards for its products sold in California.
Textile, Apparel, and Footwear (TAF) Industry Guidance on Forced Labor (2022)
Issued by the Department of Homeland Security, this guidance outlines due diligence expectations for companies importing textiles, apparel, and footwear into the U.S. to ensure supply chains are free of forced labor, especially concerning the Xinjiang region.
Jakroo must implement rigorous supply chain auditing and transparency measures to ensure all its manufacturing partners and material suppliers adhere to strict anti-forced labor standards, impacting sourcing decisions.
Federal Trade Commission (FTC) Green Guides (2012, undergoing review)
The FTC Green Guides provide guidance on environmental marketing claims to prevent consumer deception. While the current version is from 2012, the FTC initiated a review in late 2022 to update them for contemporary environmental claims like 'sustainable' or 'eco-friendly'.
Jakroo needs to ensure its marketing claims regarding ethical and sustainable practices are clear, substantiated, and align with the FTC's current and future Green Guides to avoid regulatory scrutiny and maintain consumer trust.
