S 820 United States Senate · 118th Congress

Protecting Consumers from PFAS Act

S 820, the Protecting Consumers from PFAS Act, adds the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) to the federal interagency working group that coordinates efforts on PFAS chemicals. PFAS are chemicals commonly found in consumer products like non-stick cookware and water-resistant clothing, with health concerns linked to long-term exposure. The bill formally includes the CPSC - responsible for regulating product safety - into this working group to enhance federal coordination on PFAS. It does not change product regulations but updates agency roles in federal PFAS oversight.
