Rhode Island H7621 exempts certain cookware containing FDA-authorized PFAS from the consumer PFAS ban act of 2024.

Rhode Island H7621 amends the Consumer PFAS Ban Act of 2024 to exempt certain cookware that contains perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) authorized by the FDA for food contact from the ban. The act prohibits the sale of products with intentionally added PFAS starting January 1, 2027, but allows for unavoidable trace quantities attributable to natural or synthetic ingredients, manufacturing processes, storage, or migration from packaging. The exemption applies to cookware that meets FDA food contact standards. The act takes effect upon passage.
