What the rule says
New Mexico's PFAS Protection Act (HB 212, 2025; rule 20.13.2 NMAC effective July 1, 2026) bars manufacturers from selling, offering or distributing upholstered furniture, textiles and textile furnishings (plus carpets and rugs, cleaning products, cosmetics, fabric treatments, feminine hygiene products and ski wax) that contain intentionally added PFAS beginning January 1, 2028. Manufacturers of products with intentionally added PFAS must submit information to the New Mexico Environment Department on or before January 1, 2027 and, after that date, may not manufacture such products for sale unless they carry the required PFAS label (some exemptions apply), and a broader ban on all products with intentionally added PFAS starts January 1, 2032 unless the Environmental Improvement Board finds the use currently unavoidable.
