State and local government representatives from 18 states wrote a letter to the Consumer
Electronics Association (CEA) and the Information Technology Industry Council (ITIC), who filed the lawsuit, expressing their continued support for state and local laws that give the
electronics manufacturers responsibility for financing effective
takeback services for all the products they are selling in those states.

Electronics TakeBack Coalition, a national environmental coalition that has supported state laws promoting «producer
takeback» laws for
electronics.
