No later than 18 months after the effective date of this article, each package or box containing menstrual products sold in this state shall contain a plain and conspicuous printed list of all ingredients which shall be listed in order of predominance. The list shall either be printed on the package or affixed thereto.

§47-29-3. Labeling requirement in addition to other regulations.

The requirements of this article apply in addition to any other labeling requirements established pursuant to any other provision of law.

§47-29-4. Civil penalty.

Whenever a violation of this section has occurred, a civil penalty of one percent of the manufacturer's total annual in-state sales not to exceed $5 per package or box shall be imposed on the manufacturer.
