Requires producer of certain firefighting equipment containing perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances to provide written notice to purchaser; prohibits sale, manufacture, and distribution of certain firefighting equipment containing intentionally added perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances.*
This bill requires manufacturers of firefighting gear containing PFAS (perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances) to provide written notice to purchasers at the time of sale. The notice must state that PFAS is present, explain why it's included, and list the specific chemicals by name. Beginning two years after the bill takes effect, the sale, manufacture, and distribution of firefighting gear with intentionally added PFAS will be banned in New Jersey. The law directly affects manufacturers and purchasers of firefighting personal protective equipment (like jackets, helmets, and gloves) and enforces compliance through New Jersey's Consumer Fraud Act.
