Time：
2024-10-18
California signed the SB1266 bill, which extends the ban on bisphenol A to underage feeding and sucking products, effective January 1, 2026. Limit the content of bisphenol substances, PQL is determined by DTSC. Not suitable for medical devices and food containers for the general population.
On September 27, 2024, California signed the SB1266 bill, expanding the existing ban on bisphenol A in children's food contact bottles and cups to any form of bisphenol A in underage feeding products and underage sucking or teething products. This requirement will officially take effect on January 1, 2026.
In October 2011, California enacted the Non Toxic Infants and Young Children Act, which limits the content of bisphenol A (BPA) in food contact bottles or cups used by children aged three or younger to no more than 0.1 ppb.
California has now approved the SB1266 bill, which further prohibits the use of bisphenol substances in underage feeding products and underage sucking or teething products.
Starting from January 1, 2026, no one is allowed to manufacture, sell, or distribute any underage feeding products and underage sucking or teething products containing any form of bisphenol substances exceeding the actual quantification limit (PQL). The specific PQL value will be determined by the toxic substance control department DTSC.
But this restriction does not apply to medical devices, or food and beverage containers primarily designed or used to hold liquids, food, or beverages for consumption by the general population.
