“The California State Assembly narrowly approved a controversial bill Friday evening that would ban popular nonstick cookware products from being sold in the state starting in 2030. The measure bans cookware containing perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances, more commonly referred to as PFAS, from being sold in the state. It would also ban any new ‘cleaning product, dental floss, juvenile product, food packaging, or ski wax’ that contains PFAS from being sold starting in 2028. The Assembly approved the measure in a 41 to 19 vote, with 20 assemblymembers not voting. The bill still needs a final concurrence vote in the Senate before it can be sent to Gov. Gavin Newsom for his signature to make it law. Isabella Jimenez, a spokesperson for Assemblymember Damon Connolly, who was managing the proposal, told SFGATE in an email that their office expects the bill to pass that vote.” (09/13/25)
