Crowell & Moring partners Cheri Falvey, Meghan McMeel, and Warren Lehrenbaum will be speaking at the 2026 ICPHSO Annual Meeting and Training Symposium, where they will participate in key legal and regulatory panels. This flagship event brings together global product safety professionals for four days of collaboration, learning, and networking.

Cheri will participate in the panel Product Safety Eras Tour (1972-2007, 2008-2024, 2025-beyond) where speakers will discuss product safety history over the years pre- and post-CPSIA, and some of the pivotal moments in sparking major changes in product safety compliance, enforcement, and reliance of voluntary standards.

Meghan’s panel, The Duty to Innovate: Legal Risk or Safety Imperative for Product Manufacturers?, will explore the emerging legal “duty to innovate,” examining how manufacturers may be required to adopt feasible safety technologies or risk liability amid shifting regulatory and industry expectations.

During Warren’s panel, Ever-Expanding Chemical Reporting Universe, attendees will learn about the latest chemicals reporting requirements and approaches.

The conference is taking place in Orlando, Florida between February 23-26, 2026. Further details can be found here.
