Breaking Developments in the Regulation of Textile Chemicals

Webinar | 06.28.16, 10:00 AM EDT - 11:00 AM EDT

Register

Congress has just passed sweeping new legislation that will completely overhaul how chemical products are regulated in the U.S.--including chemical products that are contained in textiles or used in the manufacture of textiles. This webinar examines how the new law will affect manufacturers and importers of textile products.

Join Warren U. Lehrenbaum, partner at Crowell & Moring and member of the firm's Environmental & Natural Resources Group Steering Committee, and Natalia R. Medley, counsel in Crowell & Moring's Advertising & Product Risk Management and Mass Tort, Product, and Consumer Litigation groups, to learn more. Among the questions that will be addressed are: 

  • How does the new law impact manufacturers or importers of “articles”? 
  • What chemicals will be the first target of regulation under the new law? 
  • How does the legislation affect products that may have been used in textiles for decades? 
  • Will the new law prevent patchwork regulation by the states? 
  • And, what effect will the law have on innovation?  

In addition, the speakers will address how the new legislation intersects with regulatory requirements, such as flammability standards, established by the Consumer Product Safety Commission. 

This webinar is hosted by the United States Fashion Industry Association (USFIA) and Crowell & Moring LLP.

The webinar will be recorded and distributed to everyone who registers.

The Artificial Intelligence Agenda from Capitol Hill to State Capitals: Where We Are and Where We Are (Probably) Going

The landscape of AI governance and regulation is shifting. Following the release of the White House’s “America’s AI Action Plan” in July 2025 and the President’s signing of related Executive Orders, the White House has emphasized (at least rhetorically) a preference for innovation, adoption, and deregulation. But that does not tell the entire story. The Administration remains committed to exercising a heavy hand in AI, including by banning the U.S. government’s procurement of so-called “woke AI,” intervening in the development of data centers and the export of the AI technology stack, imposing an export fee for certain semiconductors to China, and assuming a stake in a U.S. semiconductor company. State legislatures are also racing to implement their own regulations, particularly around AI’s use in critical areas, such as healthcare, labor and employment, and data privacy. The many sources of regulation raise the specter of a fragmented compliance environment for businesses. This webinar will delve into the Administration’s AI strategy, going beyond the headlines to analyze:...
