The proposed "Hazardous Products Act" aims to prohibit the manufacture and sale of products containing intentionally added perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) starting January 1, 2027. The bill defines key terms such as "intentionally added PFAS," "manufacturer," and "product," and outlines a comprehensive list of items that will be banned if they contain these chemicals. This includes various categories such as apparel, carpets, cleaning products, cookware, cosmetics, dental floss, juvenile products, menstruation products, textile furnishings, ski wax, and upholstered furniture.

Violations of the act will result in penalties that escalate with repeated offenses, ranging from misdemeanors with fines and potential imprisonment for first and second offenses to felonies for third or subsequent offenses. The bill also allows individuals to seek legal remedies, including declaratory judgments and class actions, for damages caused by violations. It provides for the recovery of actual damages or a minimum of $500, along with reasonable attorney fees, and outlines the court's authority to grant appropriate relief, including asset sequestration if necessary.
