Bill Summary

AN ACT to amend the general business law, in relation to warning labels on certain sports and muscle creams

AI Summary

This bill, named Arielle's Law, requires manufacturers, sellers, and distributors of sports and muscle creams containing methyl salicylate (a chemical compound often used in pain relief products) to include specific warning labels on their products. These warning labels must clearly state that the product contains methyl salicylate, provide instructions to use the product only as directed, and advise consumers to consult a physician before using the cream. If a person, company, or entity sells or distributes such a cream without the required warning label, they can be subject to a civil penalty of up to $500 for each violation. The law aims to increase consumer awareness about the potential risks associated with methyl salicylate-based sports and muscle creams and encourage consumers to use these products safely and under medical guidance. The bill will take effect immediately upon its enactment.
