Carla N. Hutton Quoted in Inside PFAS Policy Article “Connecticut May See Reduced PFAS Reporting, Labeling Due To State Bans”

On June 11, 2026, comments by Carla N. Hutton were featured in Inside PFAS Policy’s article discussing Connecticut’s upcoming per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) reporting and labeling requirements.

Carla Hutton, a senior regulatory analyst for law firm Bergeson & Campbell, told Inside PFAS Policy that the Connecticut Department of Energy & Environmental Protection (DEEP) may not receive many reports or see many products labeled as containing per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) under its upcoming rules because the same regulated product categories are already banned entirely in other states. As such, manufacturers may have already adjusted their product formulations to remove intentionally added PFAS.

Hutton though noted the likely reduced impact of both of Connecticut’s reporting and labeling rules.

“Connecticut will require notification for certain products containing intentionally added PFAS, but other states such as California, Colorado, Maine, and Minnesota have already banned intentionally added PFAS in some or most of those product categories,” Hutton said.
