Illinois enacted HB 2516 amending the PFAS Reduction Act to prohibit intentionally added PFAS in cosmetics, dental floss, juvenile products, menstrual products, and intimate apparel. The ban takes effect January 1, 2032. PFAS is defined as fluorinated organic chemicals containing at least one fully fluorinated carbon atom.

Manufacturers selling covered products in Illinois must reformulate to remove intentionally added PFAS before the effective date.
