    Key Takeaways

    • Bans the sale of cleaning products, dental floss, and other consumer goods containing PFAS chemicals by 2028.
    • Extends the PFAS ban to cookware products starting January 2030.
    • Requires manufacturers to provide compliance certificates proving their products are PFAS-free.
    • Exempts previously used products and items regulated by federal PFAS laws from the ban.

    Summary

    Senator Allen's proposal to restrict perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in consumer products would prohibit the sale of cleaning products, dental floss, juvenile products, food packaging, and ski wax containing intentionally added PFAS starting January 1, 2028. The restrictions would extend to cookware containing these chemicals beginning January 1, 2030.

    The Department of Toxic Substances Control would oversee implementation through product testing and enforcement measures. Manufacturers must provide compliance certificates upon request, demonstrating their products meet the PFAS restrictions. The bill modifies existing registration requirements by eliminating mandatory registration and fees for manufacturers of regulated products while maintaining the department's authority to verify compliance through testing and impose penalties for violations.

    The legislation exempts previously used products and items where federal law preempts state authority over PFAS content. It also authorizes, but does not require, the department to evaluate PFAS uses in these product categories under California's Safer Consumer Products regulations. The department has until January 1, 2029, to develop implementing regulations, including approved testing methods and laboratory accreditation standards.
