New Jersey A1854 prohibits the sale of cleaning products containing triclosan for sanitizing or hand and body cleansing.

New Jersey A1854 prohibits the sale of any cleaning product containing triclosan used for sanitizing or hand and body cleansing, effective one year after enactment. This prohibition does not apply to products with specific United States Food and Drug Administration approval for consumer use. Violators face a civil penalty of up to $1,000 per offense, with each day of violation counting as a separate offense. The bill follows a federal ban on triclosan in over-the-counter consumer antiseptic wash products, citing concerns about safety and effectiveness.
