Maine has a law, passed in 2021, that requires a disclosure for consumer products that contain PFAS.
I learned about it from this[0] article that says some businesses aren't happy because compliance is difficult and expensive, they claim, due to supply chain issues.
Organic chemistry != containing fluorine. Maybe you meant chlorine, which is a common ingredient?
According to Wikipedia, it's the definition used by the OECD from ~2021.
Probably doesn't matter much, as it refers to the same group of substances: carbon-based, containing fluorine atoms such that it doesn't break down in the environment.
Maine has a new-ish law requiring companies that use PFAS aka "forever chemicals" to report their use (and down the line banning a number of products) or be held liable for things I guess. Companies are pushing back because they claim they don't know which things included in their products contain forever chemicals because they come further down the supply chain from like other sources around the globe. I guess this is a link to the law?
