Bill > HB05168

This bill requires contact lens retailers to provide consumers with a health risk disclosure at the point of sale, specifically informing them about potential dangers associated with wearing contact lenses during certain activities such as showering or swimming. The key provision mandates that retailers must proactively communicate to consumers that these activities can pose significant health risks, including the potential for blindness. By requiring this disclosure at the moment of purchase, the bill aims to ensure that consumers are fully informed about the potential medical complications that could arise from improper contact lens use, helping them make more educated decisions about how and when they wear their contact lenses. The goal is to increase consumer awareness and potentially prevent serious eye health issues by ensuring that individuals understand the risks associated with wearing contact lenses in water-based or high-risk environments.
