Trade: labeling; labeling of lead-containing plumbing fixtures; require. Amends sec. 3 of 1976 PA 331 (MCL 445.903) & adds sec. 3p.

SB 884 amends Michigan's Consumer Protection Act to strengthen regulations against deceptive trade practices, specifically targeting false environmental claims and misleading product representations. The bill requires that any product labeled as recycled, recyclable, degradable, or made from a specific recycled content must strictly adhere to federal guidelines and provide evidence that the item will fully decompose in a landfill or composting facility within a reasonable time. Additionally, the new section prohibits merchants from representing a product as degradable unless they can substantiate that it breaks down into natural elements quickly after disposal. These changes directly affect businesses selling consumer goods by mandating accurate labeling and preventing confusion about a product's environmental impact.
