MS SB2620

Prohibits manufacturers and wholesalers from manufacturing, selling, or distributing children's products or upholstered residential furniture containing more than 1,000 parts per million of four specified flame-retardant chemicals (TDCPP, decabromodiphenyl ether, hexabromocyclododecane, and TCEP) effective July 1, 2020.

Extends the prohibition to retailers on July 1, 2021, preventing them from selling or offering for sale covered products containing the restricted flame retardants above the 1,000 parts per million threshold.

Prohibits manufacturers from replacing banned flame-retardant chemicals with substitute chemicals identified by state, federal, or international agencies as suspected or known to cause developmental toxicity, cancer, reproductive harm, endocrine disruption, or systemic toxicity.

Exempts previously owned products from the restrictions and requires the State Health Officer to report to state leadership by January 15, 2020, on federal and international flame-retardant regulations, fire safety standards, and health and safety effects of the restricted chemicals.
