Vermont PFAS product requirements

Baneffective January 1, 2026

Vermont bans intentionally added PFAS in textiles/apparel, cookware, cosmetics, juvenile products, carpets, ski wax, and more — in effect since January 1, 2026 under the earliest enacted reading.

Covers: Apparel & accessories · Cookware · Cosmetics · Fabric & stain treatments · Artificial turf · Incontinence products · Juvenile products · Carpets & rugs · Ski & snowboard wax · Menstrual products

Threshold: 100 ppm total organic fluorine — Apparel/textiles threshold tightens to 50 ppm on Jan 1, 2027.

Primary VT texts were unfetchable and sources genuinely conflict: Act 131 as enacted sets Jan 1, 2026 (convergent 2024-era sources), but the official Act 54 (2025) summary indicated textiles/apparel moved to Jul 1, 2026 and cookware to Jul 1, 2028. Shown with the EARLIEST date so no one under-complies — confirm per category against 9 V.S.A. § 2494e/2495 current text before relying.
