美国食品药品监督管理局(FDA)发布了一项测试,结果表明抽样的含滑石粉的化妆品中有17%含有石棉纤维。
该结果由FDA在3月9日发布,是在该机构进行了长达一年的努力之后,对经过挑选的一部分含滑石粉的化妆品进行了测试,以确定它们是否含有石棉。调查结果显示,有43个样本为阴性,有9个为阳性。
当确实发现石棉的存在时,应当立即通知公众该产品,并与受影响的公司合作进行召回。尽管结果存在争议,但根据FDA的调查结果,一些行业巨头都自愿召回了相关产品。
FDA表示,它将在来年选择另外的50个样品进行盲测,最终结果将于2021年初发布。对于任何阳性检测,FDA将再次“将结果告知公众,并将与相关公司将受影响的产品从市场上下架。
“The FDA is committed to keeping consumers safe from potentially contaminated cosmetic products. As part of this effort, in September 2018, the agency awarded AMA Analytical Services, Inc. (AMA) a one-year contract to test certain talc-containing cosmetic products for the presence of asbestos. We have taken and will continue to take swift action when we determine a cosmetic product is not safe.
“There is general agreement among U.S. federal agencies and the World Health Organization that there is no known safe level of asbestos exposure. Earlier this month during a public meeting, the FDA gathered input from federal partners, industry experts and the public to support the development of standardized testing, methodologies, terminology and criteria that can be applied to characterize and measure asbestos and other potentially harmful elongate mineral particles that may be present as contaminants in talc-containing products or products that use talc as an ingredient. Our work in this area is ongoing and we’ll continue to communicate with the public as we have updates to share.”
