AB 1213

This bill requires the Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer

Protection to develop and maintain a list of ingredients with certain human and

environmental effects, including ingredients that are carcinogenic, cause

reproductive or developmental toxicity, or are fragrance allergens. A manufacturer

of a menstrual product sold or distributed in the state must disclose to DATCP any

ingredient in the menstrual product that is included in the list developed by DATCP.

DATCP must post the same information about the menstrual product's ingredients

on its website, in an easily readable format, along with the health hazards associated

with each ingredient.

The bill also prohibits a person from selling or offering for sale a menstrual

product package unless it is labeled with all of the contained menstrual product's

ingredients, including any ingredients included in the list developed or maintained

by DATCP. The ingredients must be listed in order of descending weight and using

the ingredient's common name or standardized nomenclature.
