The Consumer Healthcare Products Association (CHPA) provided the following comment from Scott Melville, president and CEO, upon the introduction of the Hemp Access and Consumer Safety Act by Senators Ron Wyden (D-OR), Jeff Merkley (D-OR), and Rand Paul (R-KY):
“CHPA commends Senators Wyden, Paul, and Merkley for their bipartisan bill which will provide a pathway for CBD to be legally marketed as a dietary supplement. A lawful regulatory pathway will provide long-term certainty in the hemp-derived CBD market and protect consumers from potentially unsafe products.”
