This would seem more fair if they said the price couldn’t be raised by more than 50% or 100% during an emergency. So toilet paper that was $10 would become $20.

Not a major problem, and yet it gives producers the margins to keep staff working longer hours to produce more goods. But no increase over 10%? That gives producers very little margin to work with. (10% is the rate set in the law. See the link.)
