product recall

Over one-third of Americans (36%) now report that they would continue to use products even after a recall, according to recent data collected by MasterControl, a provider of quality management and manufacturing software. The proportion of individuals continuing to use recalled products increases in younger age groups: 45 percent of Millennials (born from 1980 to 1994) and 59 percent of Gen Z (born from 1995 to 2012) admitted they would continue to use at least one kind of recalled product, whereas only 18 percent of Boomers (born 1946 to 1964) and 23 percent of Gen X (born 1965 to 1979) admitted the same.

As we previously discussed, MoCRA requires cosmetic product manufacturer and processors to register their facilities with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). On August 7, 2023, FDA announced that it had published a draft guidance on cosmetic product facility registration and product listings, as required under the Modernization of Cosmetics Regulation Act of 2022 (MoCRA). The draft guidance intends to help the industry by providing relevant requirements and definitions, explaining who is responsible for making submissions, what details to include, and how and when to make the submissions. It also provides information on exemptions, such as those for certain small businesses.
