Description
Lawmakers have voted overwhelmingly to pass a bill that could make Washington the first state in the nation to ban the sale of cookware contaminated with lead.
Senators voted 47-0 (with two people excused) to join the House in sending HB 1551 to Gov. Jay Inslee for his signature.
If enacted, it is believed to be the first time a state has acted against the manufacture and distribution of cookware that contains toxic lead.
