New chemical limits for clothes and diapers

Beginning two years after the law’s effective date, businesses cannot sell, make, or distribute apparel or diapers with intentionally added PFAS chemicals in New Jersey. Manufacturers must certify that each product has no intentionally added PFAS to the New Jersey Division of Consumer Affairs. Certifications last five years, and certification requirements also apply when manufacturers modify products. The division enforces these rules through administrative penalties of $1,000 to $20,000 per violation, civil penalties up to $25,000 per day, or both. Each day a violation continues counts as a separate offense.
