Bill > HF1884

This bill requires retailers in Minnesota to display signage warning about the dangers of mercury-containing skin-lightening products starting August 1, 2026. Specifically, retailers must place a clearly visible sign in their establishments that informs customers that selling skin-lightening products with mercury is illegal and can lead to serious health risks. The sign must be positioned where customers can easily see it when purchasing or browsing these products. The Minnesota Pollution Control Agency and Health Department will collaborate with community-based organizations to develop the signage, which must be written in at least seven languages: English, Spanish, Hmong, Somali, French, Ethiopian, and Oromo. This requirement aims to raise public awareness about the potential health dangers associated with mercury-containing skin-lightening products and help prevent their sale and use.
