A 797 New Jersey General Assembly · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Establishes requirements and prohibitions for sale and distribution of certain products containing intentionally added perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances.

New Jersey's A 797 prohibits the sale of certain consumer products containing intentionally added perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) starting in 2026. It directly affects consumers purchasing items like feminine hygiene products, juvenile products (e.g., baby sleepers, car seats), cookware, apparel, and cosmetics. The bill bans PFAS in these products but excludes regulated medical devices, FDA-approved food packaging, and items required by federal law. Key provisions require manufacturers to reformulate products to avoid intentionally added PFAS, with specific exemptions for items already covered by federal regulations. The bill is currently before the Assembly Consumer Affairs Committee.
