Description
Hawaii Senate Bill 683 addresses per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in consumer products. The bill recognizes PFAS as 'forever chemicals' that persist in the environment and accumulate in the human body through consumption, skin contact, and food packaging. The legislation builds upon Act 152 (2022) which previously prohibited PFAS in certain food packaging. SB683 proposes to extend PFAS restrictions to clothing, textiles, food packaging, and cosmetic products including lotions, nail polish, shaving cream, and mascara.
