On June 5, 2024, Connecticut introduced An Act Concerning the Use of PFAS in Certain Products, a progressive measure to phase out and ultimately ban PFAS in various consumer products, including cosmetics, cleaners, cookware, textiles, and children's products. Under the law, starting July 1, 2026, Connecticut will prohibit the manufacture, sale, or distribution of cosmetics that intentionally contain PFAS unless manufacturers provide prior notification to the Connecticut Department of Energy and Environmental Protection (DEEP). Additionally, these products must be labeled with DEEP-approved words or symbols indicating the presence of PFAS. Labels are required to be durable enough to remain legible throughout the product's useful life. The law escalates restrictions further by imposing a complete ban on the manufacture, sale, or distribution of all cosmetics containing intentionally added PFAS, effective January 1, 2028.
