Rhode Island H7110, known as The Personal Hygiene Product Safety and Toxic Metal Removal Act of 2026, establishes enforceable standards to reduce harmful metals in personal care products.

Manufacturers must test their products and report results to the Department of Business Regulation, which can enforce compliance through inspections, seizures, and recalls.
