“Californians deserve protection from toxic PFAS in the products they use to cook, clean and care for their families,” said Susan Little, EWG’s California Legislative Director. “Instead, the governor’s veto leaves consumers unnecessarily exposed to these dangerous chemicals – and paying dearly for their clean up – for years to come.”

😡 @CAgovernor just sided w/ the chemical industry over Californians’ health. By vetoing SB682, he kept toxic #PFAS in cookware. Six other states & retailers like @Target have already transitioned toward safer solutions. He should have ensured CA did too.

Please put people ahead of #PFAS@CAGovernor@GavinNewsom. @andrewsimmern is right: we don’t need to poison our friends and neighbors to have non-stick pans.

Celebrity chefs want to kill @BenAllenCA's #SB682 that would ban dangerous PFAS from cookware in California. These chefs either sell or endorse cookware lines that use these ‘forever chemicals’, putting their personal profits over public health. https://t.co/nFbCLSnbkp
Independent research and our state agencies agree that no PFAS should be considered "safe," and we must do what we can to regulate these forever chemicals that pose serious health risks, including cancer, liver disease, and decreased fertility, even at low exposure levels.
You may have seen some false advertisements recently that were paid for by industry stakeholders, so let's set the record straight about what my #SB682 does.
When Donald Trump sought blanket authority to commandeer the National Guard, he made that order apply to every state in this nation.
Democracy is under assault right before our eyes - the moment we’ve feared has arrived.
The rule of law has increasingly given way to the rule of Don.
The founding fathers did not live and die to see this moment.
It’s time for all of us to stand up.
Today, CA @AGRobBonta held a press conference to discuss PFAS health risks and an enforcement advisory for AB 1200. Check out the CA Department of Justice's press release to get a picture of what we discussed! https://t.co/SUvR45XIhz
When science meets policy! It was an honor today to speak alongside @LittleEWG@ewg and our Attorney General @AGRobBonta on PFAS health risks and learn more about how his team is working to tackle the problem.
"California has passed sensible laws to protect its residents from needless exposure to toxic #PFAS. These chemicals don’t belong in our food packaging or our food." - @LittleEWG#ForeverChemicals#AB1200

“The bill…will ban the manufacture, sale or distribution of brominated vegetable oil, potassium bromate, propylparaben and red dye No. 3 — potentially affecting 12,000 products that use those substances, according to the Environmental Working Group.” https://t.co/BLucfZgtpp
Thank you Governor @GavinNewsom for signing the CA Food Safety Act – our landmark bill to ban four toxic and dangerous chemicals from use in food! #AB418 is a nation-leading, bipartisan bill that will protect our kids and families from harmful chemicals.
