New Jersey S1042 prohibits sale of products with intentionally added PFAS, mandates cookware labeling, and establishes a PFAS source reduction.
New Jersey S1042, the "Protecting Against Forever Chemicals Act," establishes regulations for perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS). It prohibits selling products like cosmetics, carpets, fabric treatments, and food packaging containing intentionally added PFAS. Manufacturers of cookware with PFAS in handles or surfaces contacting food must label products stating "This product contains PFAS" in English and Spanish. The bill mandates the Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) to create a source reduction program to minimize PFAS in air, water, and soil.
