Guest guest Posted October 21, 2008 Report Share Posted October 21, 2008 Hi All, Thanks for posting this as I was unaware of the new law. Very interesting that a registration fee is required which says product compliance must meet provisions of Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetics Act, but that registration does not in fact mean that a product is in compliance. Interpretation... they want to take your money as a revenue generation mechanism, but assume? no responsibility for issuing permits which adhere to the required provisions. <<The department may not register any product that does not comply with the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, as amended, or Title 21 C.F.R. Registration of a product by the department does not mean that the product does in fact comply with all provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, as amended.>> From what I read, a cosmetics manufacturing license will cost $400 per manufacturing location + $15/product which is individually packaged, all of which must be listed on the original registration. I haven't read the entire Act recently, but I do recall that anything which is considered a cosmetic technically must be manufactured in an approved facility, which rarely if ever will include home based manufacturing. If there is a loophole here, I'd be very interested to know as well. I think these types of regulations will only become increasingly popular and more stringent for a wide variety of reasons, direct revenue generation being only one of them. I haven't spent any time researching, so don't know the answer to this... is anyone aware of other states with similar regulations already implemented?
