Feb. 05, 2020: The U.S. FDA moved closer on Tuesday to formulating standardized testing of talc-based products for the presence of toxic asbestos fibers.
Experts from eight different federal agencies explained about earlier recommendations at a day-long hearing. The session also featured input from 25 members of the public, which included industry legislative bodies, consumer advocates and testing experts.
“The next step will be producing a white paper after reviewing all the recommendations as an authoritative guide on the issue.”
“There are challenges in establishing most suitable approach
in order to test asbestos in cosmetic products”.
