Good Samaritan Menstrual Products Act
HR 6212, the Good Samaritan Menstrual Products Act, protects donors and nonprofits from liability when providing menstrual products in good faith. It shields people, manufacturers, distributors, and nonprofits from civil or criminal liability for the condition of "apparently usable" donated products (those meeting all safety standards but not necessarily marketable). The law applies to products like tampons, cups, and liners distributed to individuals in need through nonprofits. Liability protection does not apply if gross negligence or intentional misconduct causes injury or death.
