SGS, the world’s leading testing, inspection and certification company, has published SafeGuardS 150.24 to keep stakeholders informed about new measures in California to regulate bisphenols in two categories of product:
– Juvenile feeding products – consumer products designed or intended to be filled with liquid, food or beverage intended primarily for consumption from that bottle or cup by children younger than 12 years of age
– Juvenile sucking or teething products – consumer products designed or intended to help a child younger than 12 years of age with sucking or teething to facilitate sleep or relaxation
SB 1266 (Chapter 790) was signed into law on September 27, 2024. This expands the existing ban on bisphenol A (BPA), as found in the Toxin-Free Infants and Toddlers Act (the Act), to cover all bisphenols above the practical quantitation limit (PQL, as defined under 22 California Code of Regulations §69501.1(a)(52)), to be determined by the Department of Toxic Substances Control (DTSC).
SGS experts publish SafeGuardS to keep stakeholders informed about regulatory changes that may impact their business. SafeGuardS 150.24 covers the background to the Toxin-Free Infants and Toddlers Act and includes a table with highlights of the new scope and requirements.
SB 1266 amends the Health and Safety Code (HSC), Section 108940, and will come into effect on January 1, 2026.
