A 2063 New Jersey General Assembly · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Prohibits sale and distribution of nail products containing dibutyl phthalates, toluene, or formaldehyde.

This proposed New Jersey bill prohibits the sale or distribution of nail polish and nail hardeners containing dibutyl phthalates, toluene, or formaldehyde. It directly affects nail product manufacturers, sellers, and retailers by requiring immediate recalls of affected products and mandating retailers to remove them from shelves within 48 hours. Sellers must return recalled items to distributors within 14 days, and distributors must dispose of them properly within 60 days. Violations would be treated as unlawful practices under the Consumer Fraud Act, potentially resulting in fines up to $20,000 per offense.
