Maddy summaryThis bill restricts the presence of specific chemicals in menstrual products sold or distributed within the state. It defines "restricted substances" to include items like lead, mercury, formaldehyde, and various phthalates, prohibiting their use as intentionally added ingredients starting on the effective date. The law also establishes a timeline for setting lower safety thresholds for these chemicals, requiring the Department of Health to propose regulations within a year and review them every five years. Manufacturers of tampons, pads, cups, and other menstrual hygiene products must comply with these limits to sell their goods in the state.
