Industry Cautions FDA To Avoid ‘Overinterpreting’ Cosmetic Allergy Survey

摘要

I n comments to FDA, the Personal Care Products Council empha- sizes the inherent limitations of the agency’s planned consumer survey to assess “allergy to cosmetics in the United States,” urg- ing FDA to take feedback with a grain of salt at least. “We caution that results not be over-interpreted. A sampling of 1,000 individuals relying on self-identifed allergenic reactions and only asking to associate those efects with personal-care products is problematic,” PCPC’s Tom Myers, executive vice president, legal, and general counsel says.
