Executive Summary
FDA REGULATION OF INTERNET PROMOTIONS WOULD "SIGNIFICANTLY IMPACT" COSMETICS industry, FDA said. Because the Internet has become an important tool in the advertising of FDA-regulated products including cosmetics, the agency's Office of Cosmetics and Colors has a "high interest" in the issue, FDA said. The agency issued a notice in the Sept. 16 Federal Register requesting comments "to help guide FDA in making policy decisions on the promotion of [FDA-regulated products] on the Internet and the World Wide Web."
