Montbell California Restrictions

Good morning, I was excited last year with the new Montbell Japan website that more products were available. However, starting this year, I noticed more than a third of my favorited items were not available for purchase. After fiddling with the website, I learned that California has restrictions on some products. Some other states like New York also has restrictions. After digging around the website, it seems more than 50% of the items are not available for Cali reaidents. Any clue why it just happened at the start of the year? I was able to purchase Kayaking stuff at the end of 2024. Maybe a PFAS ban? Or is there some other restrictions or legislation I have missed that went into effect this year?

Looks like I will have to go back to Japan to get my Montbell stuff. Lol
