Bill > SB0307

This bill amends the Michigan Consumer Protection Act to introduce new requirements for labeling plumbing products containing lead. Specifically, the bill mandates that any plumbing product that is not "lead free" must have a prominent label disclosing the presence of lead, which must be visible to consumers before purchase and placed either on the product itself or its packaging. The manufacturer is responsible for ensuring proper labeling. The bill also prohibits sellers from claiming a product contains "zero lead" unless absolutely no lead is used in its manufacturing process. The bill defines "lead free" as having lead leaching that is undetectable by the NSF/ANSI/CAN 61: Q = 1 standard, and "plumbing product" as defined in federal regulations (40 CFR 143.11). The new labeling requirement is designed to provide consumers with clear information about the lead content of plumbing fixtures, helping them make informed purchasing decisions about potential health risks. The bill does not override existing laws that may prohibit the sale of certain lead-containing products, ensuring consumer safety remains a priority.
