Section 126.14. Cosmetics — adulteration.

  A cosmetic is adulterated if any of the following apply:

  1.  It bears or contains a poisonous or deleterious substance which may render it injurious to users under the conditions of use prescribed in its labeling or under customary or usual conditions of use. However, this does not apply to coal-tar hair dye if the label of the dye bears the following legend conspicuously displayed: “Caution — This product contains ingredients which may cause skin irritation on certain individuals and a preliminary test according to accompanying directions should first be made. This product must not be used for dyeing the eyelashes or eyebrows; to do so may cause blindness”; and the label bears adequate directions for the preliminary testing. For the purposes of this subsection and subsection 5, “hair dye” does not include eyelash dyes or eyebrow dyes.

  2.  It consists in whole or in part of any filthy, putrid, or decomposed substance.

  3.  It has been produced, prepared, packed, or held under insanitary conditions whereby it may have become contaminated with filth, or whereby it may have been rendered injurious to health.

  4.  Its container is composed, in whole or in part, of a poisonous or deleterious substance which may render the contents injurious to health.

  5.  It is not a hair dye and it is, or it bears or contains a color additive which is “unsafe” within the meaning of section 706(a) of the federal Act.
