A 5223 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Requires manufacturer of firefighting personal protective equipment containing perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances to provide written notice to purchaser.

This New Jersey bill requires manufacturers of firefighting gear containing perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) to provide written notice to buyers at the time of sale. The notice must state that PFAS is present, explain why it's used, and list the specific PFAS chemicals by name. Both the manufacturer and the purchasing fire department must keep copies of this notice for three years and provide it to the Division of Consumer Affairs upon request. Violations would be treated as consumer fraud under state law, potentially resulting in fines up to $20,000 per offense. The bill directly affects firefighting equipment manufacturers and fire departments purchasing this gear.
