Under the law, the agency has jurisdiction to ban these products altogether after following proper protocol. That process includes workshops, a public comment period and requiring manufacturers that want to sell these products in California to determine whether it would be feasible to use safer ingredients. "We are encouraged by the announcement of the California DTSC with respect to isocyanates," said Joseph Kristul, President and CEO of Hybrid. "This is a common process that is followed prior to any new regulations being put into place. In the short span of a few years we have seen increased regulatory opposition to isocyanates. In 2011 we saw the U.S. EPA up the pressure with its MDI Action Plan, then the U.S. Department of Labor followed suit in 2013 with its National Emphasis Program against isocyanates and now local state governments like California are taking their own action."
