Consumer product regulation in Utah would change in two main areas under this bill. For violations of the state's weights and measures program—which ensures scales, packaging, and product quantities are accurate—the Department of Agriculture and Food would follow a graduated penalty schedule, starting with a written notice for a first offense and escalating to civil penalties of up to $10,000 for a sixth or subsequent violation, with penalties deposited into a dedicated fund for enforcement. Separately, starting December 1, 2027, manufacturers of menstrual products such as tampons, pads, and menstrual cups sold in Utah would be required to list all intentionally added ingredients on product packaging, ranked by weight, in a clear and legible format, with an option to provide this information via a website link instead; manufacturers could withhold trade secrets or EPA-protected confidential information but would still need to disclose specific chemicals like lead, cadmium, arsenic, dioxin, and PFAS. The Division of Consumer Protection would be authorized to enforce these labeling requirements, with power to impose administrative fines up to $2,500 per violation, seek court injunctions, and collect civil penalties up to $5,000 for violations of enforcement orders, with funds directed to a consumer protection training account.
