A bill for an act prohibiting the use, manufacture, distribution, and sale of consumer products containing certain chemicals and making penalties applicable.

HF 588 prohibits the sale, distribution, and use of consumer products containing PFAS chemicals (perfluoroalkyl or polyfluoroalkyl substances) starting January 1, 2026. It specifically targets food packaging, Class B fire fighting foam, and fire fighting personal protective equipment, with exceptions for products purchased before 2026 or required by federal law. The law applies to manufacturers, retailers, and distributors within Iowa, imposing penalties for violations after the effective date. Additional provisions address products like mattresses, air care items, and automotive maintenance products, but the core restrictions focus on the three primary categories.
