Ex-FDAer John Bailey On Cosmetic Warning Letters

摘要

John Bailey, former chief scientist at the Personal Care Products Council turned senior adviser for colors and cosmetics at EAS Consulting Group, says the regularity of cosmetic warning letters in recent years reflects the relative ease with which officials can monitor the marketplace by going online "and not even getting out of their chairs." Warnings to L'Oreal SA in February and Cell Vitals in December 2014 cited claims on the companies' websites, in line with a steady trend in the agency's enforcement work since a flurry of warning letters issued to cosmetics manufacturers in 2011 ("Rash Of FDA Warning Letters Raises Questions For Cosmetics Industry" - "The Rose Sheet," Oct. 22, 2012).
