Restricts certain substances from being used in menstrual products.

New York Assembly Bill A01502 amends the general business law to restrict certain substances in menstrual products. The bill defines "restricted substance" as an unsafe chemical for inclusion in menstrual products, including lead, mercury, formaldehyde, and others. It prohibits menstrual products from containing these substances as intentionally added ingredients. The Department of Health, in consultation with the Department of Environmental Conservation, will establish regulatory thresholds for these substances, with a review every five years.
