( 26-3-11)
(a) A cosmetic shall be deemed to be adulterated: (1) If it bears or contains any poisonous or deleterious substance
which 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
paragraph 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 such preliminary testing; (2) If it consists in whole or in part of any filthy, putrid, or
