New York and California: Bans on PFAS in textiles and apparel begin January 1, 2025

Dec 1, 2024

Bans in California and New York on textile articles and apparel containing per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) will take effect January 1, 2025. That same day, Colorado will commence its phased approach to prohibit PFAS in outdoor apparel for severe wet conditions, starting with a PFAS disclosure requirement. While an increasing number of states contemplate legislation and regulations addressing PFAS in textile goods and apparel – whether that be product bans or reporting and disclosure requirements – the size of the California and New York markets will likely impact national strategies for these types of products.
