Requires labeling of ingredients and restricts phosphorus in household cleansing products.
This bill requires manufacturers of household cleansing products (like soaps, detergents, and dishwashing liquids) sold in New Jersey to label the weight of each ingredient, including phosphorus, on product containers. It generally bans phosphorus compounds in these products except for specific uses: dishwasher detergents may contain up to 0.5% phosphorus, and food/dairy equipment cleaners may contain up to 8.7%. Violations carry fines of $500-$1,000 per offense, and the law takes effect one year after enactment. The bill directly affects manufacturers, retailers, and commercial establishments using these products.
