No its not. It's extremely low level regulation, much less restricting than any standard safety regulation.
It's also already really common. EU already has this type of regulation for many products. Just extend the deadlines.
Also, I think your priorities are kind of messed up if you worry more about government regulation than the destruction of the environment.
Either you support governments taking action or you support inaction.
Free market capitalism will not solve this one on its own, and will in fact fight tooth and nail for the freedom to destroy the planet.
Consumer level action does nothing, because consumers have extremely limited ability to affect anything.
