New PFAS ban in MN will affect youth powersports industry

[@DS-182]

So, let me get this straight a kid can't have a dirt bike and be outside, but they can hold on to an electric tablet made with the same chemicals almost 24/7??? 🤦‍♂️ We need find someone who will reverse as much of this as we can.. this just gets dumber by the day

You should because pfas is released when hot and can be absorbed by the blood vessels in your skin. Quit using it. Simple.

Thank god we're making our kids more healthy by preventing them from going outside and getting exercise on these toxic bikes.

[@scrweylouie2657]

All cars with vinyl seats cannot be sold also sunsetter blinds must be outlawed as well as all fiberglass boats and brakes on all cars must be removed because it is much more unsafe to have PFAS in brake linings then being unable to stop and possibly run over pedestrians.

[@ScoutSniper3124]

PFAS are used in shoes, pedestrians need to go barefoot (in Minnesota, in the winter). 🙂

[@DS-182]

Well, they already hand over driver's license to anyone who makes the pilgrimage here, and they really don't know how to stop even with brake pads.. so we might as well all be equal on the roads, right? Remember It's all about equality.. 🤣🤣🤣

[@HPollard]

Pfas isnt necessary for the production of brake pads but likely was added because of greed by the company selling it. That company likely convinced someone at some point it was safer to have pfas. Now we are finding out it gives kids cancer, basically chemically castrates you and messes with most body systems. I can see the light, why can't you? Keep pushing Chinese products loaded with pfas on your kids. You reap what you sow.

[@jaytownjunkyardfiles1999]

Someone see if Ms. Avonna Starck vapes . . . an unexplored route of potential PFAS exposure is via the e-liquids used in electronic cigarettes. While many PFAS are non-volatile under normal conditions, the heating elements in e-cigarettes may cause volatilisation of these compounds, allowing them to be inhaled.

[@TroyHanson-ch6nm]

Stupid the state cares about a fender on motorbike more then its citizens drinking water. I spend over 600$ per year plus the cost of the crap water just to have clean safe drinking water from my tap.. If you drink lots of water like i do and you are having stomach h an kidney issues get your tap water tested most these issues started arising 1 yr after covid started and gets worse by the month but thw state is more concerned about a kids motor bike like hes goin to eat or drink it wow. Leave the kids hobbies alone things like this keeps kids off drugs

Our legislature is so concerned about children that they will ban outdoor recreation products for youth, but want to legalize psychedelic mushrooms and even MDMA and LSD which will obviously be in the hands of children.

Polaris and other sports vehicles, m manufacturers and dealers, better figure out how to counter this, or it's going to hurt their businesses even worse than what they are already dealing with far as loss of sales. This law also shouldn't ban the law of machines already made it should give manufacturers an allotted amount of time to figure out a solution/ safer alternative to the PFA forever chemicals.

Hardly ever see a youth motorcycle in a landfill. All motorcycles are refurbished or recycled. Everything from a vacuum cleaner, computer, hair dryer, etc. Has cancer causing material.

[@williamstreet4304]

This is what happens when legislators bow to lobbyists. The lobbyist has an agenda and pushes their agenda using partial information. Legislators make decisions without the rest of the story. It's unintended consequences based on lack of knowledge. There should have been much more research into the effect of the law.
