California
California AB 1200: cookware chemical disclosure and PFAS in food packaging. These rules cover chemicals on California's designated list, including PFAS.
Not checked: ClaraDB shows these laws and their words as found and does not say whether they apply to your product.
The law says:
“Commencing on January 1, 2023, on the internet website for the cookware, and on January 1, 2024, on the cookware package, a manufacturer shall not make a claim that the cookware is free of any specific chemical if the chemical belongs to a chemical group or class identified on the designated list, unless no individual chemical from that chemical group or class is intentionally added”
The law says:
“Cookware that contains one or more intentionally added chemicals present on the designated list in the handle of the product or in any product surface that comes into contact with food, foodstuffs, or beverages shall not be sold, offered for sale, or distributed in the state unless the cookware and the manufacturer of the cookware comply with this article.”
The law says:
“(a) Commencing on January 1, 2024, a manufacturer of cookware sold in the state that contains one or more intentionally added chemicals present on the designated list in the handle of the product or in any product surface that comes into contact with food, foodstuffs, or beverages shall list the presence of those chemicals on the product label.”
Exemptions in the law (1)
Cookware with a surface too small for a 2 sq in label and with no wrapper or tag is exempt, but the online listing must still carry the statement.
“(1) Except as provided in paragraph (2), cookware that meets both of the following requirements is exempt from the requirements of this section:”
The law says:
“Commencing on January 1, 2023, a manufacturer of cookware sold in the state that contains one or more intentionally added chemicals present on the designated list in the handle of the product or in any cookware surface that comes into contact with food, foodstuffs, or beverages shall post on the internet website for the cookware all of the following: (a) A list of all chemicals in the cookware that are also present on the designated list. (b) The names of the authoritative list or lists referenced by the Department of Toxic Substances Control in compiling the designated list on which each chemical in the cookware is present. (c) A link to the internet website for the authoritative list or lists identified pursuant to subdivision (b).”
The law says:
“(b) A manufacturer of cookware sold in the state shall ensure that the statement required on the product label by subdivision (a) is visible and legible to the consumer, including on the product listing for online sales.”
What California's designated list is
Designated list means the list of chemicals identified as candidate chemicals that exhibit a hazard trait or an environmental or toxicological endpoint that meets the criteria in regulations adopted by the Department of Toxic Substances Control under Health & Safety Code 25251 et seq., published on the Department's internet website. Intentionally added chemical means a chemical a manufacturer has intentionally added to a product that has a functional or technical effect in the product, including components of intentionally added chemicals and intentional breakdown products of an added chemical that also have a functional or technical effect. Stored membership is partial: the PFAS class (DTSC Candidate Chemicals list, CalSAFER record 22892) only; the other candidate chemicals are not enumerated, so "no PFAS" does not mean "no designated chemical".
How California defines PFAS
“PFAS means a class of fluorinated organic chemicals containing at least one fully fluorinated carbon atom. Regulated PFAS (textile articles) means (1) PFAS a manufacturer has intentionally added that have a functional or technical effect in the product, including PFAS components of intentionally added chemicals and intentional breakdown products, or (2) PFAS in a product or product component at or above, as measured in total organic fluorine, 100 ppm commencing January 1, 2025 and 50 ppm commencing January 1, 2027.”

How Colorado defines PFAS
Intentionally added PFAS chemicals means PFAS chemicals that a manufacturer has intentionally added to a product and that have a functional or technical effect on the product; it includes PFAS chemicals that are intentional breakdown products of an added chemical. "PFAS chemicals" has the meaning set forth in C.R.S. 25-5-1302(7); that definition is not in the stored session laws.
