| Message | Oddly, no. We can: do nothing, ban them, regulate them, leave it up to the locals, or have stuff listed. |

| Message | Hmmm...this is kinda vague and misleading. All it says is that they have to list what they use, but doesn't regulate if what they used is safe or not. The system we have now regulates it's safty, but doesn't require that lables be made. *sigh* We're going to err on the side of safty for this, and vote against this. |

| Message | id rather regulate then list due to consumers not knowing what some complex chemical formula will do |
