French law will restrict the production, import or sale of products – including clothing – which are made with the so-called forever chemicals
PARIS - France has passed a new law that will ban per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) - dubbed "forever chemicals" for their durability in the environment - in products including clothing.
PFAS are a family of over 10,000 highly persistent synthetic chemicals which are commonly used to give textiles water- and stainproof coatings and which have been linked to serious health issues including cancers, liver damage, immunity issues and reduced fertility.
