,On 22 April 2026 Personal Care Products Council issued a statement opposing New York Bill S2057B, arguing that the proposal is not supported by credible health or safety concerns according to physicians and health authorities. The Council described the bill as unnecessary and cautioned that it could create unintended consequences for consumers and the broader personal care products industry. The statement highlights that, if enacted as written, S2057B and related legislation could significantly restrict consumer access to everyday personal care items such as shampoo, sunscreen, body wash, and moisturizers. It warns that such restrictions may lead to increased costs, disproportionately affecting low- and middle-income consumers who rely on affordable hygiene and personal care products. Additionally, the Council expressed concern that the bill could negatively impact employment within the industry, potentially resulting in job losses and reduced tax revenues for the state of New York.
