Establishes requirements and prohibitions for sale and distribution of certain products containing intentionally added perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances.
New Jersey's S 733 bans the sale and distribution of certain consumer products containing intentionally added perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), directly affecting manufacturers and retailers selling these items within the state. The bill prohibits PFAS in specific products like apparel, carpets, cookware, cosmetics, food packaging, and juvenile products (e.g., baby items), but excludes FDA-approved medical products, food packaging regulated under federal law, and items required by other regulations. It defines "intentionally added PFAS" broadly to include both the substances themselves and their degradation byproducts used to provide functional properties like stain or water resistance. The law applies to products intended for personal or residential use, with exemptions covering industrial equipment, medical devices, and products certified by federal agencies.
