Trade: consumer goods and services; use of certain chemicals in cosmetics products; prohibit. Creates new act.
This Michigan bill creates the Hazardous Products Act to regulate specific chemicals found in cosmetic products sold within the state. It requires manufacturers to notify consumers about the presence of certain substances and prohibits the sale of cosmetics containing defined hazardous compounds such as asbestos, heavy metals, and various phthalates. The Department of Health and Human Services will establish and update a list of high-priority chemicals of concern every three years, setting safety limits based on scientific guidance. While the law defines numerous restricted substances, it explicitly excludes retailers and grocery wholesalers from the definition of manufacturers subject to these rules.
