HB 2166 - DIGEST

Provides that, beginning January 1, 2009, the manufacturer of any cosmetic product subject to regulation by the federal food and drug administration that is sold in this state shall, on a schedule and in electronic or other format, as determined by the department, provide the department with a complete and accurate list of its cosmetic products that, as of the date of submission, are sold in the state and that contain any ingredient that is a chemical identified as causing cancer or reproductive toxicity.

Provides that any information submitted under this act shall identify each chemical both by name and chemical abstract service number and shall specify the product or products in which the chemical is contained.

Provides that if an ingredient identified under this act subsequently is removed from the product in which it was contained, is removed from the list of chemicals known to cause cancer or reproductive toxicity, or is no longer a chemical identified as causing cancer or reproductive toxicity by the department, the manufacturer of the product containing the ingredient shall submit the new information to the department. Upon receipt of new information, the department, after verifying the accuracy of that information, shall revise the manufacturer's information on record with the department to reflect the new information. The manufacturer shall not be under obligation to submit subsequent information on the presence of the ingredient in the product unless subsequent changes require submittal of the information.
