Bill > S05363

This bill prohibits the sale of cleaning products containing triclosan, triclocarban, or their derivatives throughout New York State, with an exception for medical facility use. The bill defines "cleaning products" broadly to include a wide range of items such as dishwashing liquids, laundry detergents, soaps, hand sanitizers, wipes, and personal care products. Businesses that violate this prohibition will be subject to civil penalties of up to $1,000 per day for a first violation, with penalties increasing to $2,500 per day for subsequent violations. The bill also authorizes the state department to create rules and regulations to implement the prohibition. These antibacterial compounds have been of growing concern due to potential environmental and health risks, and this legislation aims to remove them from common consumer products. The law will take effect one and a half years after becoming official, giving manufacturers and retailers time to adjust their product lines and inventory to comply with the new requirements.
