California Assemblymember Diane Papan Proposes Bill to Ban PFAS in Menstrual Products by 2025.

California Assemblymember Diane Papan, a Democrat from San Mateo, has proposed a new proposal to reduce the use of “forever chemicals” in menstrual products, A.B. 2515, aimed at preventing the manufacture, distribution, sale, or manufacture of menstrual products that contain intentionally added PFAS by 2025 and assessing alternative chemicals that could replace them by 2027. The main change is granting regulatory oversight to the Department of Toxic Substances Control and allowing consumers to sue over alleged harms from menstrual products intentionally containing the chemical. Papan incorporated the department into the new bill, following Gov. Gavin Newsom’s request.
