The Right to Repair Movement: Risks, Rules & Realities for PPE Manufacturers

ISEA Member Webinar

The Right to Repair Movement: Risks, Rules & Realities for PPE Manufacturers

The Right to Repair movement is rapidly reshaping how companies design, sell, and service their products—granting customers unprecedented freedom to repair and modify equipment on their own. While this trend gains momentum across industries, it raises serious concerns for manufacturers of PPE and safety equipment, where product integrity can mean the difference between life and death.

ISEA members have ranked Right to Repair as a top policy priority. ISEA advocates for a critical exemption, emphasizing that PPE must function exactly as designed in the moments it’s needed most. Unauthorized repairs or alterations could compromise safety, reliability, and regulatory compliance.

Join us for this timely webinar as Jake Kramer, Partner at Faegre Drinker, unpacks the origins of the Right to Repair movement, delivers an update on key legislative developments at the federal and state levels, and shares how companies—inside and outside the safety industry—are adapting to this rapidly evolving landscape.

Why Attend?

  • Get up to speed on the Right to Repair movement and pending legislation
     
  • Understand the unique risks it poses to PPE and safety equipment manufacturers
     
  • Learn how leading companies are responding to this growing consumer push
