Summary

The bill requires manufacturers of pads, tampons, menstrual cups and similar products to list every intentionally added ingredient on the consumer‑facing package, ordered by predominance and shown in prominent type. The rule applies to any product sold in Maryland and is intended to give shoppers clearer information about what they are using.
