On June 14, 2025, the Minnesota State Governor signed HF 4 into law to amend Minnesota Statutes 2024, section 325E.3892, concerning lead and cadmium requirements in consumer products. ;

Under the existing law, it is prohibited to import, manufacture, sell, hold for sale, or distribute or offer for use any covered product when it contains: 

• Lead in excess of 0.009% by total weight (90 parts per million) 
• Cadmium in excess of 0.0075% by total weight (75 parts per million) 

The amended law introduces several exclusions to these prohibitions (new exemptions are in bold). The restrictions do not apply to: 

• Covered products containing lead or cadmium, or both, when regulation is preempted by federal law; 
• Covered products that contain lead only in solder used in internal components if:
  • the product is not imported, manufactured, sold, held for sale, distributed, or offered for use in this state after July 1, 2028; and
  • the manufacturer of the product submits biennial reports to the commissioner of the Pollution Control Agency that explain the barriers to removing lead from the product, progress towards adoption of lead-free alternatives, and a timeline to fully adopt a lead-free alternative; 
• Keys that contain lead and are imported, manufactured, sold, held for sale, distributed, or offered for use in Minnesota before July 1, 2028;
• Keys that contain lead equal to or less than 1.5 % by total weight and are imported, manufactured, sold, held for sale, distributed, or offered for use in Minnesota after July 1, 2028; or
• Pots and pans, if the pot or pan:
  • is made of cast iron or steel; 
  • has cadmium contained only in a vitreous enamel that does not come into contact with food; and 
  • does not contain lead in concentration greater than the limit established. 

These amendments are already in effect.
