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?


Here's an article about it from 2021 just after it was passed..... (don't think it took effect til this year maybe)
