S 1085 New Jersey Senate · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Prohibits sale, distribution, and manufacture of jewelry containing cadmium.

S 1085 prohibits the sale, distribution, import, or manufacture of jewelry containing more than 0.03% cadmium by weight, directly affecting manufacturers, distributors, importers, and retailers. The bill requires immediate recalls if jewelry exceeds this limit, mandating retailers to remove affected items from displays within 48 hours and return inventory to suppliers within 14 days (at the supplier's cost). Suppliers must dispose of recalled jewelry safely within 60 days to prevent public access. Violations are treated as consumer fraud under New Jersey law, potentially resulting in fines up to $20,000 per offense.
