Prohibits sale of certain cleaning products containing triclosan.

This bill prohibits the sale in New Jersey of cleaning products containing triclosan that are used for sanitizing or hand/body cleansing. It directly affects retailers and manufacturers selling these products to consumers, with an exception for items specifically approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for consumer use. The law imposes a $1,000 civil penalty per violation, with each day of continued violation counting as a separate offense. It takes effect one year after enactment and aligns with the FDA’s 2016 finding that triclosan may disrupt hormones and contribute to antibiotic resistance, though it expands the ban beyond the FDA’s limited scope.
