Prohibits sale, manufacture, and distribution of certain apparel and diaper products containing intentionally added perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances.*
Substituted by S1281 (SCS/2R)
Summary
The proposal would make it illegal to sell, produce, or distribute clothing and related items that contain intentionally added per‑ and poly‑fluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) two years after the law takes effect. It targets manufacturers, importers, distributors and retailers of items such as shirts, pants, diapers, swimwear and other defined apparel, while shielding news media from liability for advertising. Violations would be punished under existing consumer‑protection penalties.
