Executive Summary
FDA's COSMETIC HOTLINE EXPECTED TO GENERATE SOME OTC ADVERSE REPORTS, according to agency staffers. Intended to allow consumers to report adverse cosmetic experiences directly to the agency, the Cosmetic Adverse Reaction Hotline likely will receive some reports of adverse reactions with over-the-counter drugs because many consumers may not be able to determine what is considered a cosmetic and what is considered an OTC drug, FDA said. In addition, the hotline will cover OTCs such as dentifrices and suntan products.
