New York´s Suffolk County´s Toxic Free Toys Act

The first Biennial Notice as specified in ORS 431A.258 is due by January 1, 2018.

Per ORS 431A.258, manufacturers must provide Biennial Notice to OHA (Oregon Health Authority) of children's products sold or offered for sale in Oregon that are covered by the Oregon Toxic-Free Kids Act and contain High Priority Chemicals of Concern for Children's Health (HPCCCH).  HPCCCH in the final product that are intentionally-added at or above practical quantification limits (PQL) must be reported with a fee of US $250.00 per unique HPCCCH.

The implementation of this rule is scheduled in three phases and now it’s in phase 2. During this period, manufacturers are required to report to OHA (Oregon Health Authority) children’s products that contain chemicals on the list and identify which chemicals they contain:

• “The first round of reporting is due by January 1, 2018, unless OHA approves the successful submission of a Manufacturing Control Program exemption request.
• From then on, non-exempt manufacturers will be required to report every other year until they remove the chemicals of concern from their products, or they stop marketing the products containing those chemicals in Oregon”
