Sunscreen overdose or misuse language not applicable in OTC label reg -- CTFA.

Executive Summary
OTC LABELING REG OVERDOSE, MISUSE LANGUAGE NOT APPLICABLE TO SUNSCREENS, CTFA states, because the inclusion of such conditions for sunscreen products "exemplifies the inappropriateness of subjecting cosmetic-drug products" to FDA's Feb. 27 proposed labeling revisions for over-the-counter drugs. In Oct. 6 comments by the Cosmetic, Toiletry and Fragrance Association to the agency, CTFA contends it is "extremely unlikely" that FDA concerns that a higher risk has developed for overdose or misuse of OTCs as products with more potent dosages appear on the market would apply to sunscreens and other cosmetic-drugs.
