"The Connecticut Department of Energy & Environmental Protection (DEEP) has released an order specifying the approved words and symbols for labeling certain consumer products made with “intentionally added” per- or poly-fluoroalkyl substances (PFAS).

Under CGS § 22a-903c, which became effective in 2024, certain consumer products in designated categories must include an approved PFAS label to be manufactured, sold or distributed in Connecticut beginning July 1, 2026, with an outright ban to follow on January 1, 2028."
