Prohibits sale of certain cleaning products containing triclosan.
This bill prohibits the sale of consumer cleaning products containing triclosan for sanitizing or hand/body cleansing in New Jersey, directly affecting manufacturers and retailers. It excludes products with specific FDA approval for consumer use. Violators face civil penalties of up to $1,000 per violation, with each day of continuing violation counted separately. The ban takes effect one year after enactment, aligning with federal FDA restrictions but extending them to all such consumer products, not just rinse-off items.
