In response to the recent introduction of House Bill 272 (HB 272), a measure that would impose sweeping new restrictions on PFAS and food additives in consumer products, OMA Counsel at Bricker Graydon has produced a detailed memo outlining the bill’s impact on Ohio manufacturers.

As introduced, HB 272 would impose strict new limits on PFAS and food additives, mirroring regulations seen in California and the EU. The bill also bans some FDA-approved ingredients and imposes significant compliance costs and penalties.

This bill will be discussed in depth at the June 5 Government Affairs Committee and the July 16 Environment Committee meetings. 5/29/25
