RE: 2023 PFAS Regulations and TUXTON PRO COOKWARE

TO: Valued Customers and Partners,

 

Several US states have passed requirements for perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS). PFAS have been used for numerous purposes in various consumer product industries for many years including: water repellency, heat resistance, oil / stain resistance.

However, recent studies have shown PFAS to have several concerning characteristics such as a strong resistance to breaking down over time, bioaccumulation in organisms, potential carcinogenicity, and endocrine disruption.
