California Safer Food Packaging and Cookware Act of 2021 (or AB-1200), was signed into law on October 5, 2021. Among other things, this law bans paper-based food packaging containing PFAS chemicals. In addition, it requires cookware manufacturers to disclose the presence of certain chemicals in handles and food-contact surfaces, and prohibits misleading advertising on cookware packaging.
Colorado HB22-1345 was signed into law on June 3, 2022 and also requires the disclosure of PFAS chemicals in cookware handles and food-contact surfaces.
Misen nonstick cookware contains the following intentionally added PFAS chemicals used for their non-stick properties: polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), fluorinated ethylene and propylene (FEP), and perfluoroalkoxy alkane polymer (PFA).
Misen products are not in violation of any state or federal safety regulations. Both AB-1200 and HB22-1345 do not specify a minimal content level to trigger disclosures.
AB-1200 is a "right-to-know law" for the state of California that requires a disclosure if any amounts of AB 1200-chemicals on the authoritative list are intentionally added to the product.
