New Mexico Implements PFAS Labeling Requirements for Consumer Products
New Mexico has introduced comprehensive regulations under the PFAS Protection Act, which was passed into law in April 2025. The regulations include a phased ban on products containing intentionally added PFAS, with initial prohibitions starting January 1, 2027, and expanding to a near-total ban by 2032. The New Mexico Environment Department (NMED) and Environmental Improvement Board (EIB) are responsible for rulemaking. A significant aspect of the new regulations is the requirement for a universal PFAS label on products, which must be visible and legible on packaging or manuals. This labeling requirement applies to products manufactured after January 1, 2027. Manufacturers must also report detailed information about PFAS content in their products by the same date, with annual updates required.
