One of our reps just proposed a bill to the US House that would make this federal law.

That could go a long way to stamping out a number of these private producers.
There are federal laws regulating ephedrine type products. My sister worked for a pharmaceutical company. They had to keep precise records of who purchased ephedrine as well as dates, amounts, and places. I forget the details, but some of their product was found in a crime lab. Luckily, they had followed the rules and could trace the drugs back to who sold it illegally. Apparently, it was pretty serious.
