PFAS in Consumer Products: State-by-state Regulations - Updated March 2025

SUMMARY

Manufacturers, distributors, and retailers of consumer products across a broad spectrum of industries are being impacted by state laws regulating the presence of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (“PFAS”) in their products. This area is rapidly developing as states create new laws or amend existing ones, and the penalties and litigation risks for non-compliance can be significant.

PFAS BACKGROUND

PFAS is a family of chemicals comprised of somewhere between 8,000-15,000 compounds depending on the regulatory definition. According to the EPA, PFAS can be found in food packaging, household products, and personal care products. Not surprisingly, these categories have been the focus for states as they develop and implement their consumer product PFAS laws.

SPECIFIC CONSUMER PRODUCT REGULATIONS

Below is an overview of enacted and proposed state laws and regulations as of March 27, 2025, to assist you in investigating whether your products may be impacted.

The following information identifies what specific product categories each state regulates, but does not include the specific regulatory levels or requirements to avoid confusion because the structure and limits vary widely from state to state.

California

CONCLUSION

The presence of PFAS in consumer products has become a major focus for consumers, retailers, and state legislatures. The resulting patchwork of state laws and retailer requirements presents significant challenges for the industries that are currently being regulated, and future challenges for any other industries that use PFAS compounds.

In addition, while most states have regulated the inclusion of PFAS in specific product categories, Maine and Minnesota have passed sweeping laws that require the disclosure and eventual removal of intentionally added PFAS in all products, including industrial and commercial products, and New Mexico is poised to enact a similar general prohibition. The regulation of these chemicals in consumer products is expected to continue at the state level, so now is a critical time for businesses to evaluate whether any of their products or production methods contain or use these chemicals.
