Thank you Massachusetts Representative Khan and Senator Rush for being champions of bills to protect young people from dangerous weight loss and muscle-building supplements.
Introduced by Massachusetts Representative Kay Khan and Senator Michael Rush in the 2023-2024 Massachusetts legislative session, An Act protecting children from harmful diet pills and muscle-building supplements (H.2215/S.1465), would protect kids from dangerously underregulated over-the-counter diet pills and muscle-building supplements by restricting the sale to adults 18 years or older.
