Hawaii PFAS product requirements
Hawaii's effective dates land on December 31, not January 1.
Both Hawaii rules take effect at year end: food packaging was prohibited as of December 31, 2024, and cosmetics and personal-care products follow on December 31, 2026. That is a genuine trap for compliance calendars built on the January 1 convention every other state uses, because it costs you a day rather than gaining you a year. Hawaii has no reporting duty and no labeling duty — only these two prohibitions.
