The bill limits the amount of lead allowed in newly manufactured aluminum or brass cookware, utensils, and components, first to 90 ppm in 2026 and then to 10 ppm in 2028. It requires manufacturers to prove compliance with approved testing methods and gives retailers the same limits, while exempting casual sales, older items, and warranty repairs. The goal is to protect consumers, especially vulnerable populations, from lead exposure.
