Recently, the Connecticut Department of Energy and Environmental Protection (DEEP) has approved “Words or Symbols” informing the purchaser of PFAS in a product.

Background

In 2024, Connecticut enacted a law requiring that products containing PFAS sold after July 1, 2026, must be labeled accordingly.

Approved “Words or Symbols”

Any of the following expressions may be used:

"Contains PFAS"
"Made with PFAS"
"Made with PFAS chemicals"
"Made with intentionally added PFAS"
"This product contains PFAS chemicals"

Businesses may submit applications for alternative labeling language. Relevant information must be emailed to DEEP.PFASInProduct@ct.gov, and the alternative language may only be used after approval by DEEP.
