Prohibits the sale of medical adhesives and bandages containing perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances

Maddy summaryThis bill prohibits the sale of medical adhesives and bandages in the state if they contain specific chemicals known as perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances. It directly affects manufacturers, importers, and distributors by requiring them to ensure these products are free from those substances before selling them. The law allows sellers to avoid penalties if they can prove they relied on a valid certificate of compliance from the manufacturer, while also imposing daily fines for violations. The regulations will take effect on December 31, 2025, giving the industry time to adjust before the ban is enforced.
