Synopsis

This eye-opening and essential analysis tackles the tangled patchwork of state-level hazard warning laws, from cigarette warnings to Proposition 65 in California, where economist Kip Viscusi examines product-risk labeling, food and drug administration standards, packaging and industrial design requirements, and the mounting compliance costs of inconsistent regulation, ultimately making the definitive case for federal standardization of risk warnings over today's fractured state-by-state approach to risk communication. 


 This volume examines state regulations for hazard warnings-for foods, drugs, and medical devices-and demonstrates why a federal warnings approach would be preferable.
