     6    (b)  "diaper"  shall mean a type of garment or product inserted into a
     7  garment for the purpose of absorbing waste products to  prevent  soiling
     8  of  outer  clothing  or  the  external  environment without the use of a
     9  toilet. These products may be either disposable or reusable.
    10    2. No later than twelve  months  after  the  effective  date  of  this
    11  section, each package or box containing diapers sold in this state shall
    12  contain  a  plain  and conspicuous printed list of all ingredients which

    14  printed on the package or affixed thereto.
