MI SB0217

Requires manufacturers, producers, and distributors of consumer products or packaging containing PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances) to provide warning labels or written notice to retail sellers beginning January 1, 2024.

Mandates retail sellers to display PFAS warnings on product labels, labeling, or shelf signs if they sell private-label products, knowingly introduced PFAS, received manufacturer notice, or have actual knowledge the product contains PFAS.

Warning labels must state that the product or packaging includes PFAS and that exposure may have adverse health effects, with additional requirements to be determined by the Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs.

Establishes civil penalties of $1,000 per day for violations in 2024, increasing to $5,000 per day in 2025, and $10,000 per day after 2025, enforceable by county prosecutors or the attorney general.

Exempts businesses with fewer than 10 employees, government entities, and public water supply operators from the notification requirement if no larger manufacturer of the product meets the state presence threshold.
