S 76 New Jersey Senate · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Restricts phosphorus content and requires labelling thereof for household cleansing products.

This bill restricts phosphorus levels in household cleaning products sold in New Jersey and requires clear labeling of phosphorus content. It prohibits most household cleansers from containing phosphorus compounds (except trace amounts), with limited exceptions for dishwasher detergents (max 0.5% phosphorus) and food/dairy equipment cleaners (max 8.7% phosphorus). Manufacturers must label products with the percentage by weight of phosphorus and grams per recommended use, and commercial establishments (like restaurants) cannot use non-compliant products. The law applies to all distributors, retailers, and commercial users of these products within the state.
