Roman Mars介绍了Vivian Leigh搬进新公寓后发现的加州65号提案警告标志,引发了对该提案有效性和影响的讨论。 Vivian Leigh详细描述了加州65号提案警告标签的普遍性和人们对其的忽视,并探讨了该提案的实际效果。 David Rowe作为65号提案的起草人,解释了提案的背景、目标和设计理念,以及提案通过过程中面临的挑战和来自各方的反对意见。他还谈到了提案实施过程中出现的误解和企业试图规避责任的行为。 Tom Epstein讲述了65号提案宣传过程中的挑战和简·方达等好莱坞明星为其宣传所做的贡献。 Jane Fonda的简短发言表达了对65号提案的支持。 Michael J. Fox表达了对65号提案的支持,认为该提案要求那些向环境排放毒素的人承担责任。 Balvu律师谈到了65号提案引发的诉讼潮,以及诉讼对企业,特别是小型企业造成的经济损失,甚至导致一些企业破产。 Nicole Krim谈到了65号提案中“赏金猎人”式原告的行为,以及这些原告对亚洲品牌企业的针对性诉讼。 Alan Hirsch认为,尽管65号提案的警告标签存在缺陷,但它促使企业改进产品配方,降低消费者接触有毒化学品的风险,其作用远不止是警告消费者。 Todd Cooperman认为,65号提案是美国唯一一个对产品中污染物含量进行限制的州级法律,其作用远超警告标签本身。他同时指出了该提案中警告标签本身在传达危险信息方面的不足。
