I had never heard of Woof & Poof. The company makes handcrafted baby products, but apparently not for long in their home of Chico, California. According to this news story, the company is stopping production.
Why? The CEO, Roger Hart, said, “The high cost of doing business in California coupled with ridiculous regulatory environment makes it virtually impossible to do business.” The news story contains the following:
A recent visit by an inspector with the Department of Consumer Affairs set the company back. The inspector from Sacramento cited him for having the wrong size font on the decorative pillow labels. He was told to take the labels out, or they would have his inventory seized.
My next story (above) notes California’s low standing on the 2016 State Business Tax Climate Index. California’s standing in the regulatory realm is even lower.
