On December 31, 2021, New York Governor Kathy Hochul signed a new law that imposes obligations on manufactures of consumer “electronic displays,” upholstered furniture, and mattresses. Beginning January 2024, any new products listed below will be prohibited for sale in New York:
- Any “electronic displays” sold for personal residential use containing intentionally added organohalogen flame retardants in the enclosure or stand.
- Any new upholstered furniture or mattresses containing intentionally added halogenated, organophosphorus, organonitrogen, or nanoscale chemical flame retardants.
