Call to Action – AB 1200

CEH is co-sponsoring a major California bill, AB 1200, which would ban the use of PFAS in food packaging and force the disclosure of toxic chemicals in cookware. You can find out more about the bill from the following resources:

AB 1200 one-pager
AB 1200 fact sheet about food packaging
AB 1200 fact sheet about cookware and bakeware

If you live in California, call your representative to support California bill AB 1200. This bill will be heard by the California Senate Health and Environmental Quality Committees in June. Find your representative to call here: http://findyourrep.legislature.ca.gov/
