This bill (H.F. No. 1884) proposed in the Minnesota House of Representatives aims to regulate the display of warnings about mercury-containing skin-lightening products. It mandates that, starting August 1, 2026, retailers selling skin-lightening products must place visible signage informing customers that selling products with mercury is illegal and that using such products can have harmful health effects.

The Minnesota Pollution Control Agency and the Department of Health, in collaboration with community organizations, will develop the required signage. The warning must be available in multiple languages, including English, Spanish, Hmong, Somali, French, Ethiopian, and Oromo.

The bill has been referred to the Committee on Commerce Finance and Policy for further consideration.
