What Is Right To Know?
California’s Cleaning Product Right to Know Act of 2017 (SB 258) is designed to inform consumers and workers about the ingredients used in certain cleaning products. The aim of the bill is to encourage educated purchasing decisions that will help reduce the public health impacts linked to exposure to potentially harmful chemicals by requiring manufacturers of designated products to provide a list of chemicals used in their formulations.
What Is Required?
If a product meets the definition of a designated product under SB 258, manufacturers are required to search each ingredient against over 20 “designated lists” to determine if there are any potential hazards to human health or the environment. Specific label elements and online disclosure requirements are prescribed, depending on the list status and function of each ingredient.
