 Plain-English summary Congressional Research Service

This bill requires the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to revise the Safer Choice Standard of the Safer Choice Program. Specifically, the EPA must identify the requirements that specified products (e.g., pots, pans, or cooking utensils) must meet in order to be labeled with a Safer Choice label, including a requirement that such products do not contain certain perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances, commonly referred to as PFAS. These substances are man-made and may have adverse human health effects. A variety of products contain the compounds, such as nonstick cookware or weatherproof clothing.
