How to File a Complaint With the FDA About Makeup, Personal Care Products, or Even Tattoos
There are thousands of products that can be smeared on the face and body and do not pass rigorous safety tests before they enter the market. This is why it’s important to know that you can file a complaint with the FDA if you think a product is irritating your skin, causing an allergic reaction, or worse.
Here are the instructions for filing a complaint . The FDA wants to know if there is anything wrong with the product, such as a strange smell or foreign objects, or if you have had a bad reaction to it. And the cosmetic department covers everything from shower gel to tattoos (both temporary and regular).
