MPs began examining on Thursday a bill aimed at restricting the manufacture and sale of products containing PFAS. During the debates, elected officials spoke out in favor of excluding kitchen utensils from the scope of the law.
The majority had proposed to postpone the ban on these products from 2026 to 2030. The kitchenware manufacturer Seb sounded the alarm this week about the threat that such a law would pose to some 3,000 jobs at the Seb factories in Rumilly (Haute-Savoie) and Tournus.
