HB 2008 Washington House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Concerning chemicals in certain personal hygiene products.

HB 2008 requires Washington's Department of Ecology to test specific personal hygiene products for potentially harmful chemicals. It mandates testing of products designed to absorb urine, feces (like diapers), or menstrual/vaginal discharge (including reusable options), working with the Department of Health and community groups. The department must report test results to the legislature by December 31, 2025, but the bill does not ban any chemicals or create new restrictions.
