Consumer Federation of America, National Center for Health Research, and U.S. PIRG submitted joint comments to the CPSC regarding the potential harms of PFAS in consumer products.  The consumer groups highlighted the general issues with PFAS in consumer products and drew particular attention to the issues with artificial turf, recycled tire materials used in outdoor rubber playground surfaces, and indoor floor tiles.  According to an earlier report released by the CPSC concerning child behaviors – playing barefoot or with exposed skin, eating without proper handwashing, and frequent hand-to-mouth contact – may increase exposure to surface chemicals, including PFAS.  The groups provided recommendations to CPSC, urging the agency to study the issue, develop PFAS guidance materials, educate consumers, and create policies to complement state and federal action on PFAS.
