Prohibits sale and distribution of nail products containing dibutyl phthalates, toluene, or formaldehyde.
New Jersey's A1775 prohibits the sale and distribution of nail polish and nail hardeners containing dibutyl phthalates, toluene, or formaldehyde, directly affecting nail product manufacturers, retailers, and distributors in the state. The bill requires immediate recalls by sellers/distributors upon discovery of prohibited chemicals, mandates retailers to remove affected products from shelves within 48 hours, and requires disposal of recalled items within 60 days. Violations trigger penalties under the Consumer Fraud Act, including fines up to $20,000 per offense and potential cease-and-desist orders. The law aims to remove specific chemical exposures from consumer nail products without specifying health outcome predictions.
