The Madurai Bench of the Madras High Court on Tuesday sought response from the Centre and the State on a public interest litigation petition that sought a direction to governments to issue directions to sanitary napkin and diaper manufacturers to disclose the materials used on the wrappers.
The court was hearing the petition filed by S. Ayyaa of Palayamkottai. He said that materials used to manufacture the sanitary napkins and diapers must be disclosed and mentioned on the wrappers of the product to ascertain whether the product was safe. People fall for advertising, cost and packaging instead of analysing the importance of hygiene, he said.
