Proposed Personal Care Safety Act to Expand FDA Authority on Cosmetics
AudioSolutionz, country's leading source of business enhancing information, is conducting a live webinar on Thursday, May 26, 2016 where expert speaker Kristi Davidson will talk about preparedness for new proposed laws in personal care and cosmetics products.
- Durham, NC (1888PressRelease) May 11, 2016 - An almost 100-page bill was released last year to introduce Personal Care Products Safety Act. This bill is to significantly expand the authority of FDA over cosmetics products that are sold in US. A variety of issues are discussed in the bill, including registration of facilities and products, adverse and serious adverse reporting, mandatory recall authority etc. Seemingly, FDC Act's existing provisions have been drawn by the bill drafters that are applicable to nonprescription drugs and from certain provisions applicable to foods.
FDA would only be able to recall its mandatory authority in limited instances where the exposure or use of a cosmetic may likely cause a serious health hazard/death and the company has voluntarily refused to recall the product. If the products are cosmetics and non-prescription drugs, they are subjected to requirements needed for non-prescription drugs as well as cosmetics. If the nonprescription drugs are 'substantially similar' to the proposed law requirements, their compliance will be deemed with new law.
AudioSolutionz, country's leading industry information provider, will be hosting a webinar Proposed New Laws for Personal Care and Cosmetic Products: What does this Mean to you? On Thursday, May 26, 2016 where expert speaker Kristi A. Davidson will explain the process of preparing for regulatory shift following the proposed laws on personal care products and cosmetics. It is better to be forewarned and prepared for the upcoming regulatory changes and understand its impact, and also know which proposed law is more beneficial/harmful to the business.
Only this month in California, more than 200 notices of litigation were sent to the cosmetics, food and beverage companies that alleged various products that violate California's statute governing products with 'Made in USA' mark, despite the amendment in law. The high standard set by California legislation left companies in compliance with FTC standard, into a big mess. Fortunately, an amendment for such companies came into effect from January 1, 2016. The amendment allows products sold in California with foreign components to make US claims contingent on certain conditions.
Despite such amendments, organizations are rallying for litigation efforts, and have steep demands to make. They seek a full recall of products with USA claim in last four years, want a full refund of purchasing price for consumers and also want companies to conduct an advertising campaign. Though this bill is not the first providing FDA with additional authority, it certainly is the most comprehensive.
Kristi will prepare for the proposed laws in personal care products and cosmetics, whatever the case might be. It is better to be prepared and braced for the future changes, rather than trying to cope up with the impact when it is already sitting on head.
