New Mexico PFAS in Products Rule Appealed

A legal challenge has been filed in state court against New Mexico’s PFAS in products rule, which was finalized last month.

As noted in a recent Chemical Watch article, concerns center on product labeling issues that emerged during the rulemaking process.  The final rule’s labeling requirements apply to all products containing intentionally added PFAS manufactured on or after January 1, 2027, with narrow exceptions.

More details will become available after the appellant files a docketing statement, due within 30 days of the suit’s filing on May 22, 2026.  The notice of appeal can be found here.
