California Gov. Gavin Newsom vetoed legislation that would ban the sale of cookware and other products manufactured with “forever chemicals.”
The bill sparked considerable debate, with high-profile celebrity chefs arguing against the ban, while environmental and health activists advocated in favor of it.

Additionally, this bill, beginning January 1, 2030, prohibits a person from distributing, selling, or offering for sale cookware that contains intentionally added PFAS,” Newsom said in a statement.
