We determined restrictions are needed for the following chemical-product combinations:
- Organohalogen flame retardants in external plastic device casings for electric and electronic products intended for indoor use
- Organohalogen and organophosphate flame retardants in RCW 70A.430 in recreational polyurethane:
- Uncovered foam pits
- Covered floor mats
- Covered flooring
- Outdoor recreational products
- Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in:
- Carpets and rugs
- Indoor leather and textile furniture and furnishings
- Aftermarket stain- and water-resistance treatments for leather and textile products
- Bisphenols in:
- Thermal paper
- Drink can linings
- Alkylphenol ethoxylates (APEs) in laundry detergent
- Ortho-phthalates in:
- Vinyl flooring
- Fragrances used in personal care and beauty products
We determined reporting requirements are needed for the following chemical-product combinations:
- Organohalogen flame retardants in external plastic device casings for electric and electronic products intended for outdoor use
- Organohalogen and organophosphate flame retardants listed in RCW 70A.430 in recreational polyurethane covered wall padding
- PFAS in outdoor leather and textile furniture and furnishings
- Bisphenols in food can linings
What changed between the draft and final report
We made a number of changes to integrate feedback from our stakeholders and communities. Read how we incorporated feedback in our comment overview. Three regulatory determinations changed between draft and final:
- We changed our determination to no action on polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) in paints or printing inks. We believe federal Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) regulations preempt us.
- We changed our determination from a restriction on PFAS in leather and textile furniture and furnishings intended for outdoor use to a reporting requirement.
- We changed our determination from a restriction on flame retardants in electric and electronic enclosures intended for outdoor use to a reporting requirement. We also further clarified which electric and electronic products are in scope.
