HARRISBURG – A bill banning toxic PFAS from high-contact consumer products in PA was approved by the PA House Consumer Protection Committee. PFAS, known as forever chemicals, are synthetic chemicals linked to a range of serious health risks, including cancer, immune-system suppression, reduced fertility, and more. House Bill 2145 would ban the use of PFAS in the manufacture of many daily-use household products including cosmetics, dental floss, children’s products, and menstrual products. Every time a person uses these products, they’re being exposed to PFAS and the significant health risks PFAS carry. The bill, which received bipartisan support, now moves to the full PA House.
