"Beginning July 1, 2026, Connecticut will prohibit the manufacture, sale, and distribution of certain consumer products that contain intentionally added per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) unless the manufacturer provides prior notification to the Connecticut Department of Energy and Environmental Protection (DEEP) and labels these products. The consumer products are apparel; carpets or rugs; cleaning products; cookware; cosmetic products; dental floss; fabric treatments; children’s products; menstruation products; textile furnishings; ski wax; or upholstered furniture. DEEP recently posted a PDF of its PFAS Reporting Form for Manufacturers for informational purposes. While the form cannot be submitted until DEEP publishes the fillable version in early June 2026, manufacturers can review the form now to ensure that they have the information required to complete the form. For each product category, the form requires the amount (in grams (g)) of each PFAS or subgroup; the range by percent weight in the product category; the component, if applicable; and the total fluorine (in parts per million (ppm)), if applicable. For each category selected, manufacturers must then provide a brief description of the product(s) and the function or purpose of the PFAS in each product."
