Many federal consumer protection regulations are directed at correcting information failures in the market. All health and safety regulations require the elimination of all risks so as to avoid the implicit pricing of a human life. Consumer protection legislation often follows years of the courts finding no duress, no unilateral mistake, or no fraud.
Government lacks the authority to regulate commercial free speech.
All federal environmental regulations completely preempt all environmental regulations by each State.

Only human life is protected by the federal environmental protection laws.
