AZ HB2620

Beginning January 1, 2014, prohibits the manufacture, sale, offer for sale, or distribution of infant formula, baby food, or child containers containing bisphenol A (BPA) in Arizona.

Allows retailers to sell existing inventory of BPA-containing infant formula and baby food containers through December 31, 2013 if purchased before the effective date and in comparable quantities to the prior year.

Establishes civil penalties up to $5,000 per violation, with collected penalties deposited into a new Department of Weights and Measures Enforcement Fund.

Requires that when replacing BPA, manufacturers must use the least toxic alternative and cannot substitute EPA-classified carcinogens (Group A, B, or C) or reproductive toxicants.

Exempts consumer-to-consumer sales and distribution of baby food, child containers, and infant formula from the prohibition requirements.
