126.14 COSMETICS -- ADULTERATION.
A cosmetic is adulterated if any of the following apply:
1. It bears or contains a poisonous or deleterious substance
which may render it injurious to users under the conditions of use
prescribed in its labeling or under customary or usual conditions of
use. However, this does not apply to coal-tar hair dye if the label
of the dye bears the following legend conspicuously displayed:
"Caution -- This product contains ingredients which may cause skin
irritation on certain individuals and a preliminary test according to
accompanying directions should first be made. This product must not
be used for dyeing the eyelashes or eyebrows; to do so may cause
blindness"; and the label bears adequate directions for the
preliminary testing. For the purposes of this subsection and
subsection 5, "hair dye" does not include eyelash dyes or eyebrow
dyes.
2. It consists in whole or in part of any filthy, putrid, or
decomposed substance.
3. It has been produced, prepared, packed, or held under
insanitary conditions whereby it may have become contaminated with
filth, or whereby it may have been rendered injurious to health.
4. Its container is composed, in whole or in part, of a poisonous
or deleterious substance which may render the contents injurious to
health.
5. It is not a hair dye and it is, or it bears or contains a
color additive which is, unsafe within the meaning of section 706(a)
of the federal Act. Section History: Recent Form
