CalExotics was also an early adapter of RoHS and WEEE standards for motors, though there was no requirement to do so in the in U.S.

“Susan is a pioneer in the industry. She was the first to create sensual products geared toward women and couples starting 20 years ago,” said Bonnie Feingold, President and CEO of Honey’s Place.

She added, "Susan continues to raise the bar in our industry by improving the quality of the products and packaging at California Exotic Novelties. She is an amazing person and has built an innovative company. I am honored to have her in my life and to call her a friend and mentor. It is her hard work ethic, innovation and the way she does business which has allowed CalExotics to become one of the largest and most successful companies in the industry.”
