Description
Washington adopted amendments to Chapter 173-337 WAC (Safer Products Restrictions and Reporting) restricting the manufacture, sale, and distribution of consumer products containing intentionally added PFAS. The rule restricts PFAS in apparel and accessories made from leather, natural textiles, synthetic textiles, or technical textiles; automotive washes; and cleaning products, with product bans effective January 1, 2027. The amendment adds a 50 ppm total fluorine threshold—products testing above this level are presumptively deemed to contain intentionally added PFAS subject to reporting requirements or bans unless the manufacturer submits a statement that PFAS were not intentionally added.
