Cosmetic Adverse Event Reports Spiked 56% In Fiscal 2014 – FDA

According to FDA’s Office of Cosmetics and Colors, the number of cosmetic adverse events reported to the agency reached 491 in fiscal 2014, a 56% increase over fiscal 2013. FDA reps say the agency’s data can be deceptive and the total number likely would be higher if cosmetic adverse-event reporting were mandatory.
