A new law that takes effect in July bans a slew of everyday items, including clothing and cookware, from intentionally containing per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS). Starting in 2026, sales of cookware, dental floss, cleaning products, menstruation products and ski wax that contain PFAS will be prohibited.
By 2028, the state is banning the sale of all PFAS-treated clothing, backpacks and waterproof outdoor apparel. However, starting next year, companies will be required to include disclosure labels on any PFAS-containing apparel they sell in Colorado.
