Massachusetts S175 aims to reduce toxic chemicals in children's products.

Massachusetts S175 mandates the Department of Environmental Protection to identify and publish lists of high priority chemicals and safer alternatives in children's products. Manufacturers must notify the department of chemicals in their products and provide toxicity information. The bill prohibits the sale of products containing high priority chemicals unless a safer alternative is used or a waiver is granted. It also requires manufacturers to conduct hazard assessments for chemical substitutions. The department can test products for compliance and may impose civil penalties for violations.
