Summary

The legislation adds a new chapter to Pennsylvania’s health‑safety statutes that prohibits the use of DEHP and other ortho‑phthalates in intravenous solution containers and tubing. Manufacturers must stop selling products with intentionally added DEHP by 2027‑2035, cannot replace DEHP with another ortho‑phthalate, and must warn patients about any remaining DEHP. Certain blood‑bag products are exempt, and manufacturers may receive extensions if they meet specific notification requirements.
