MAHA - Menstrual Labeling Act

HB 5120, the Menstrual Labeling Act, requires all menstrual products sold in West Virginia - including tampons, pads, and menstrual cups (both disposable and reusable) - to display a clear, plain list of all ingredients in order of predominance on their packaging within 18 months of the law taking effect. This applies to manufacturers selling products in the state, adding this requirement to existing labeling rules without replacing them. Violations trigger a civil penalty of up to 1% of a manufacturer’s annual in-state sales or $5 per package, whichever is lower. The law aims to increase transparency about product contents without restricting product availability or making health claims.
