Regulatory Update on PFAS-Containing Products
Introduction
PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances) are a group of man-made chemicals that have been widely used in various industries for their water and stain-resistant properties. However, due to growing health concerns and regulatory restrictions, products containing PFAS are increasingly being scrutinized and restricted.
Regulatory Restrictions
Recent regulations have imposed restrictions on the sale and distribution of PFAS-containing products in several states, including California, Colorado, Minnesota, and New York. These restrictions are aimed at mitigating the potential health risks associated with PFAS exposure.
