A 267 New Jersey General Assembly · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Requires labeling of ingredients and restricts phosphorus in household cleansing products.

This bill requires manufacturers to label household cleansing products (like soaps and detergents) with the weight and percentage of key ingredients, including phosphorus, that may harm health or the environment. It bans most products containing phosphorus compounds - except for limited amounts (0.5% for dishwashers, 8.7% for food/dairy equipment) - and prohibits commercial establishments (e.g., restaurants, hospitals) from using non-compliant products. Violations carry fines of $500-$1,000 per offense, with daily violations treated as separate offenses. The law directly affects manufacturers, retailers, and commercial users of these products in New Jersey.
