The table contains a condensed version of each comment, and a response in non-technical terms.
Comment	Response
2-MEA should be prohibited in consumer products and cosmetics. In addition, Canadian regulations should emulate European Union requirements that prohibit the use of 2-MEA in consumer products.	No submission was received under section 71 of CEPA 1999 to indicate that 2-MEA was present in consumer products or cosmetics in Canada. Since 2-MEA is not used in the United States or European Union, it is not likely to be found in Canadian consumer products or cosmetics. Exposures to 2-MEA are expected to be negligible.
