California Senate Bill 236, the Combating Unsafe ReLaxers (C.U.R.L.) Act, prohibits the manufacture, distribution, sale, and offering for sale of hair relaxer products containing specific intentionally added chemicals, such as formaldehyde and phthalates. The bill requires the Department of Toxic Substances Control to create regulations and establish testing methods for these products, and empowers the department to enforce compliance through penalties and legal action. The bill also creates a dedicated fund to support these efforts.
