Prohibits the manufacture, sale, and use of cookware containing polytetrafluoroethylene

This bill prohibits the manufacture, sale, and use of all cookware containing polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE, commonly known as Teflon) within the state starting January 1, 2026. It directly affects cookware manufacturers, retailers, and consumers who currently use PTFE-coated products like non-stick pans and bakeware. The law defines "cookware" broadly to include pots, pans, grills, and cooking appliances that interact with food. The state environmental department will establish rules to implement the ban, and the state has exclusive authority over this regulation.
