Safer Products for Washington Cycle 2 Draft Priority Products Report public comment

We invite you to comment on the Draft Identification of Priority Products Report to the Legislature. This report identifies draft priority consumer products for Cycle 2 Phase 2 of Safer Products for Washington. The Draft Technical Supporting Documentation for Priority Products Cycle 2 Phase 2 is also published and available for public comment.


Background

Safer Products for Washington establishes a process where we designate priority chemicals, identify products that contain those chemicals, determine needed regulatory actions, and adopt rules to implement regulatory actions. Before we can restrict the use of a chemical in an identified consumer product, the law requires that safer alternatives are feasible and available.


In May 2024, we published our Identification of Priority Chemicals Report to the Legislature: Cycle 2 Implementation Phase 1. In this report, we identified seven chemical classes as priority chemicals for Cycle 2:

  • Cadmium and cadmium compounds.
  • Lead and lead compounds.
  • Organobromine and/or organochlorine substances.
  • Benzene, ethyl benzene, toluene, and xylene substances (BTEX).
  • Formaldehyde and formaldehyde releasers.
  • Cyclic volatile methylsiloxanes (cVMS).
  • 6PPD.


We also published two additional Cycle 2 resources to support the report to the Legislature:
