Minnesota’s PFAS law, explained for shoppers

Amara's Law: 11 product categories banned, everything else to follow

Minnesota's Amara's Law banned intentionally added PFAS in 11 consumer categories starting in 2025: carpets and rugs, cleaning products, cookware, cosmetics, dental floss, fabric treatments, juvenile products, menstrual products, ski wax, textile furnishings, and upholstered furniture.

A broader prohibition covering most products with intentionally added PFAS is scheduled for 2032 unless a use is designated currently unavoidable.

Product categories affected

• Cookware
• Cosmetics
• Menstrual products
• Ski wax
• Cleaning products
• Furniture and textiles
• Juvenile products

What this means when you shop

Laws phase in over years and cover sales within the state, so products with intentionally added PFAS can remain on shelves and online during transitions. The practical move is to check products yourself: every item in our database carries an Bad to Excellent PFAS grade plus a beyond-PFAS hazard analysis, so you can shop ahead of any deadline.

Dates, changes and the other states

Minnesota’s deadlines sit alongside every other state’s on our timeline of when each PFAS ban takes effect, and anything that moved in the last month is in what changed in state PFAS law this month. Because the bans cover sales inside a state rather than manufacturing, what a brand has published about its own PFAS use travels with the product, and that is collected in what every brand has said about PFAS.
