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:

• Technical Supporting Documentation for Cycle 2 Phase 1.
• Comment Summary for Cycle 2 Phase 1.

We are now working on Cycle 2 Phase 2 to identify priority products.
