06-096 C.M.R. ch. 90, § 7 - Failure to Provide Notice

A. Beginning January 1, 2032, unless granted a waiver in accordance with section 3(A)(2) above, a person may not sell, offer for sale, or distribute for sale in the State of Maine a product containing intentionally added PFAS regardless of whether the Department has determined a current unavoidable use exists if the manufacturer has failed to provide the information required under section 3.

The prohibition in this section does not apply to a retailer in the State of Maine unless the retailer sells, offers for sale, or distributes for sale in the State of Maine a product for which the retailer has received a notification pursuant to section 8(A)(2) that the sale of the product is prohibited.

NOTE: Violations of this Chapter are subject to the Department's enforcement authority under 38 M.R.S. §§347-A - 349. The Department's initial focus will be on encouraging voluntary compliance. If a person resists efforts to achieve voluntary compliance the Department may take progressive steps to achieve compliance.
