SF1481

This bill, introduced in the Minnesota Senate, mandates that starting from August 1, 2026, all retail stores selling skin-lightening products must prominently display signs warning that it is illegal to sell products containing mercury and highlighting the health risks associated with their use. The signs must be visible and located where they can easily be seen by customers. Additionally, the signage will be developed jointly by the commissioners of the Pollution Control Agency and Health, in consultation with community-based organizations, and must include translations in multiple languages including English, Spanish, Hmong, Somali, French, Ethiopian, and Oromo to ensure broad accessibility and understanding.
