I.D. #: N/A
CHARGE: "The article is subject to refusal of admission pursuant to
Section 801(a)(3) in that it appears to contain a color
additive which is unsafe within the meaning of Section
721(a) which renders it adulterated under Section 601(e)."
RECOMMENDING
OFFICE: DIOP (HFC-170);
Los Angeles District (HFR-PA250);
Cincinnati District (HFR-MA440);
New York District (HFR-NE1515).
REASON FOR
ALERT: This alert, which initially issued in 1985, was based on the
detention of make-up kits with eye area cosmetics from
Taiwan containing illegal color additives. Problems with
eye make-up products and other cosmetic products have
continued and the list of responsible firms has grown.
During the latter part of 1990, Cincinnati District sampled
a shipment of cosmetics manufactured by A.Z. Nadar Cosmetics
and Hair Products d/b/a Stargazer, London, England.
Analysis of the samples, which included mascaras, eye dust,
rouge, and lipstick, revealed the presence of prohibited
FD&C Red #7 and FD&C Red #2, as well as other unidentified
colors.
In 1993, analysis of an eye color compact collected by New
York district revealed the presence of D&C Red, a delisted
synthetic color additive.
In 1995 LOS-DO sampled and analyzed twenty samples of
shampoo manufactured by CIA. Distribuidora Del Centro, San
Jose GTO, Mexico in a six month time frame. Of the twenty
samples, six were refused and nine were detained for
undeclared colors. These samples all contained
unsafe/illegal and/or undeclared colors. The unsafe/illegal
colors included non-permitted external D & C Red #10,
Ponceau 4R and other undeclared colors.
GUIDANCE: Districts ***may detain, without physical examination,***
shipments of identified products from those firms listed in
Attachment A.
Districts ***may detain, without physical examination, ***
all entries of eye make-up and make-up kits containing eye
make-up from Taiwan except from those shippers listed in
Attachment B.
The method for color analysis is from AOAC's book
Newburger's Manual of Cosmetic Analysis 2nd edition, Chapter
19, "Determination of Colors in Cosmetics" p.118.
***Fastips Issue #47, page 6, should also be consulted when
analyzing for colors in shampoos, cream rinses and
conditioners.***

sample collections, analysis, preparation, or analytical
