H.R. 6212 — Good Samaritan Menstrual Products Act

This section limits civil and criminal liability for good-faith donations of apparently usable menstrual products (i.e., pads, tampons) to nonprofit organizations for distribution to individuals in need. It applies to (1) persons, manufacturers, and distributors donating such products and (2) nonprofits receiving them, with respect to claims arising from the products' nature, age, packaging, or condition; the limitation does not apply to gross negligence or intentional misconduct causing injury or death.

This section defines, for purposes of the Act, (1) "menstrual product" as a sanitary napkin, tampon, liner, cup, underwear, or any similar item used by an individual with respect to menstruation; and (2) "apparently usable" as a product, with respect to menstruation, that meets all federal, state, and local quality and labeling standards even if not readily marketable.
