New Mexico PFAS Compliance Guide
2028 New Mexico PFAS ban — the second wave
Update (Sept 16, 2026): A federal court (D.N.M.) granted a preliminary injunction blocking enforcement of New Mexico's PFAS labeling regulation while litigation proceeds. The order does not affect the manufacturer reporting requirement (due Jan 1, 2027) or the phased sales prohibitions (2027/2028). Labeling is therefore currently unenforced — treat the label obligation as uncertain pending appeal.
Product categories banned from 2028
- carpets and rugs
- cleaning products
- cosmetics
- fabric treatments
- feminine hygiene products
- textiles and textile furnishings
- ski wax
- upholstered furniture
- additional food packaging
These join the smaller first wave (2027). Cosmetics, textiles, carpets and cleaning products are the big categories many brands already carry. If you sell any of these with intentionally added PFAS, plan now — and note reporting by Jan 1, 2027 comes first.
