§ 4066. Adulterated cosmetic
A cosmetic shall be deemed to be adulterated:
(1) If it bears or contains any poisonous or deleterious substance that may render it
injurious to users under the conditions of use prescribed in the labeling or advertisement
thereof, or under such conditions of use as are customary or usual. Provided, that
this provision shall not apply to coal tar hair dye the label of which bears the following
legend conspicuously displayed thereon: “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 labeling
of which bears adequate directions for the preliminary testing. For the purpose of
this subdivision and subdivision (5) of this section, the term “hair dye” shall not
include eyelash dyes or eyebrow dyes.
(2) If it consists in whole or in part of any filthy, putrid, or decomposed substance.
(3) If it has been produced, prepared, packed, or held under unsanitary conditions in
which it may have become contaminated with filth, or in which it may have been rendered
injurious to health.
(4) If its container is composed, in whole or in part, of any poisonous or deleterious
substance that may render the contents injurious to health.
(5) If it is not a hair dye and it bears or contains a coal tar color other than one from
a batch that has been certified under authority of the federal act. (Added 1959, No. 172, § 17, eff. May 12, 1959; amended 2023, No. 6, § 145, eff. July 1, 2023.)
