§ 37-0201. Legislative findings and intent.
The legislature finds and declares that:
1.  The  management of solid waste can pose a wide range of hazards to
  public health and safety and to the environment; and
2. Packaging comprises a significant percentage of the  overall  solid
  waste stream; and
3.  The  presence  of heavy metals in packaging is a part of the total
  concern in light of their likely  presence  in  emissions  or  ash  when
  packaging  is  incinerated, or in leachate when packaging is landfilled;
  and
4. Lead, mercury, cadmium and hexavalent chromium,  on  the  basis  of
  available  scientific  and  medical evidence, are of particular concern;
  and
5. It is desirable as  a  first  step  in  reducing  the  toxicity  of
  packaging  waste  to  eliminate  the  addition  of these heavy metals to
  packaging; and
6. The intent of this title is to achieve this reduction  in  toxicity
  without  impeding  or  discouraging  the  expanded  use of post-consumer
  materials in the production of packaging and its components.

2023 New York Laws › ENV - Environmental Conservation › Article 37 - Substances Hazardous or Acutely Hazardous to Public Health, Safety or the Environment › Title 9 - Toxic Chemicals in Children's Products › 37-0907 - Reporting on the Use of Chemicals.

§ 37-0907. Reporting on the use of chemicals.
1.  Reporting  of  chemical  use.  No later than twelve months after a
chemical of concern or  high-priority  chemical  appears  on  the  lists
promulgated   pursuant   to   section   37-0905  of  this  title,  every
manufacturer who offers a children's product for sale or distribution in
this state that contains  a  chemical  of  concern  or  a  high-priority
chemical   shall   report  such  chemical  use  at  or  above  practical
quantification limits to the  department,  provided  however,  that  the
department  may,  through regulation, establish an alternative threshold
for the reporting of trace contaminants.
(a) This report must at a minimum identify the children's product, the
high-priority  chemical  or  chemicals  of  concern  contained  in   the
children's  product  and  the  intended  purpose  of such chemicals. The
department may also require reporting of the following information:
(i) the amount of such chemical in the children's product; or
(ii) information on the likelihood that the chemical will be  released
from the children's product to the environment during the product's life
cycle  and  the  extent  to  which users of the product are likely to be
exposed to the chemical.
(b) The department is authorized to direct submission of  such  report
to  the interstate chemicals clearinghouse and may otherwise provide for
reciprocal data sharing with other states which require reporting of the
same information.
2. Waiver of  reporting.  Upon  application  by  a  manufacturer,  the
commissioner  may  waive all or part of the reporting requirements under
subdivision one of this section for one or  more  specified  uses  of  a
high-priority  chemical.  In making such determination, the commissioner
may consider: (a) if substantially  equivalent  information  is  already
publicly  available  or  that  the  information  is  not  needed for the
purposes of this chapter, (b) similar waivers granted by  other  states,
and (c) whether the specified use or uses are minor in volume.
3.  Fees. The manufacturer shall pay a fee upon submission of a report
of chemical use pursuant to subdivision one of this section or a  waiver
request  pursuant  to  subdivision  two  of  this  section  to cover the
department's reasonable costs in the administration and  enforcement  of
this  title.  Exclusive  of  fines  and  penalties, the state shall only
recover its actual cost of administration and enforcement.

§ 37-0909. Sales prohibition.
1. Effective January first, two thousand twenty-three, no person shall
distribute, sell or offer for sale in this state a children's product in
which  tris (1, 3 dichloro-2-propyl) phosphate (CAS 13674-87-8), benzene
(CAS 71-43-2),, or asbestos  (CAS  1332-21-4)  is  intentionally  added.
This provision shall not apply: (a) to a children's product solely based
on its containing an enclosed battery or enclosed electronic components;
(b)  where  state  regulation  of  children's  products  is preempted by
federal law; (c) where the chemical is present as a  trace  contaminant;
or  (d) to an inaccessible component of a children's product that during
reasonable, foreseeable use and abuse of the product would not come into
direct contact with a child's  skin  or  mouth,  as  determined  by  the
department.  The  commissioner may exempt a children's product from this
prohibition if, in the commissioner's judgment, the lack of availability
of the children's product could pose  an  unreasonable  risk  to  public
health, safety or welfare.
2.  (a)  To  the extent allowed by federal law, the department may, by
regulation, prohibit the distribution, sale, or offer for sale  in  this
state  of  a  children's  product  that contains a chemical added to the
high-priority chemicals list pursuant to section 37-0905 of this  title,
or  a  chemical  recommended  for  prohibition by the children's product
safety council pursuant to paragraph (b) of subdivision five of  section
37-0911 of this title.
(b)  In  developing  rules  to  prohibit  a  chemical pursuant to this
subdivision, the department shall rely on credible  scientific  evidence
and   consider   information  relevant  to  the  hazards  based  on  the
quantitative extent of potential exposures to  the  chemical  under  its
intended or reasonably anticipated conditions of use.

  subdivision shall apply to trace contaminants  in  a  manner  consistent
  with section 37-0907 of this title.
2.  The  department  shall  provide  information  to  the public about
  children's products containing chemicals of  concern  or  high  priority
