TITLE OF BILL:  An act to amend the environmental conservation law, in
relation to banning formaldehyde in certain children's products

PURPOSE:

This bill bans the sale of children's products that contain
formaldehyde.

SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS:

Section 1 of the bill amends Article 37 of the environmental
conservation law by adding a new title 9, and by adding Section
37-0901.

Section 1 of Section 37-0901 defines terms used in the bill. For the
purposes of this bill, children are defined as those aged 12 and
under.

Section 2 of Section 37-0901 sets forth the parameters of the ban of
children's products containing formaldehyde, prohibiting retailers
from selling a children's product that intentionally contains
formaldehyde or ingredients that chemically degrade to release
formaldehyde, beginning January 1, 2016.

Section 2 of the bill establishes the effective date.

JUSTIFICATION:

Formaldehyde was added to the list of human carcinogens by the U.S.
Department of Health and Human Services in 2011. Notwithstanding this,
it continues to be used in many household products, including those
intended for children.

A 2011 report by Washington Toxins Coalition and Safer States
showcased the frequency with which formaldehyde was found in
children's blankets, clothing, and toys even though it has been
classified as a severe developmental toxin and in the worst category
for carcinogenicity. Children are more susceptible to the dangers of
formaldehyde which can cause serious nervous system damage and asthma.

In addition, formaldehyde is an environmental pollutant. A 2010 report
by the National Toxicology Program showed that formaldehyde is present
in indoor and outdoor air, soil, food, treated and untreated drinking
water, surface water and groundwater. One of the major sources of
airborne formaldehyde is off-gassing from consumer goods.

LEGISLATIVE HISTORY:

This is a new bill.

EFFECTIVE DATE:

This act shall take effect January 1, 2015.

TITLE OF BILL:  An act to amend the environmental conservation law, in
relation to banning formaldehyde in certain children's products

PURPOSE:

This bill bans the sale of children's products that contain
formaldehyde or formaldehyde replacement chemicals.

SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS:

Section 1 of the bill amends Article 37 of the environmental
conservation law by adding a new title 9, and by adding Section
37-0901. Section 1 of Section 37-0901 defines terms used in the bill.

Section 2 of Section 37-0901 sets forth the parameters of the ban of
certain children's products containing formaldehyde, prohibiting
manufacturers or wholesalers from selling such products on or after
January 1, 2015, and prohibiting retail sales on or after January 1,
2016.

Section 3 of Section 37-0901 establishes that a manufacturer cannot
replace formaldehyde with an equally dangerous chemical.

Section 2 of the bill establishes that this act shall take effect

January 1, 2015.

JUSTIFICATION:

Formaldehyde was added to the list of human carcinogens by the U.S.
Department of Health and Human Services in 2011. Notwithstanding this,
it continues to be used in many household products, including those
intended for children.

A 2011 report by Washington Toxins Coalition and Safer States
showcased the frequency with which formaldehyde was found in
children's blankets, clothing, and toys even though it has been
classified as a severe developmental toxin and in the worst category
for carcinogenicity. Children are more susceptible to the dangers of
formaldehyde which can cause serious nervous system damage and asthma.

In addition, formaldehyde is an environmental pollutant. A 2010 report
by the National Toxicology Program showed that formaldehyde is present
in indoor and outdoor air, soil, food, treated and untreated drinking
water, surface water and groundwater. One of the major sources of
airborne formaldehyde is off-gassing from consumer goods.

(http://ntp.neihs.nih.govintp/roc/twelfth/profiles/Formaldehyde.pdf).

For the purposes of this bill, children are defined as those under 14,
the same standard used in General Business Law § 396-k, relating to
hazardous toys and other articles intended primarily for use by
children.

This is a new bill.

This act shall take effect January 1, 2015.
