U.S. FDA Report (July 2024): 72 Batches of Imported Cosmetics Rejected

In July 2024, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) exercised its authority under the Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FD&C Act) to refuse entry to 72 batches of imported cosmetics from 17 countries. The FDA's enforcement actions included issuing "Notices of FDA Action" to product owners or consignees, which specified the nature of the violations. If the recipients failed to prove compliance or provide a plan to rectify the issues, a final notice would be issued, after which the product must be exported or destroyed within 90 days.
