Description
Maine has established January 1, 2040 as the sales prohibition date for products containing intentionally added PFAS in the following categories: cooling, heating, ventilation, air conditioning, and refrigeration equipment, as well as refrigerants, foams, and aerosol propellants. This is the final phase of Maine's comprehensive PFAS in Products law, completing the staged prohibition timeline that began in 2023. Manufacturers in these sectors have significant lead time to reformulate products or seek Currently Unavoidable Use (CUU) designations.
