Colorado’s PFAS law, explained for shoppers

Phased bans across packaging, furnishings, cosmetics, and textiles

Colorado law phases out intentionally added PFAS across product waves: carpets and rugs, fabric treatments, food packaging, juvenile products, and oil and gas products first, then cosmetics, indoor textile furnishings, and upholstered furniture, with further categories following.

Product categories affected

Food packaging
Carpets and rugs
Cosmetics
Furniture and textiles
Juvenile products

What this means when you shop

Laws phase in over years and cover sales within the state, so products with intentionally added PFAS can remain on shelves and online during transitions. The practical move is to check products yourself: every item in our database carries an A to F PFAS grade plus a beyond-PFAS hazard analysis, so you can shop ahead of any deadline.
