Open in Lexace · Ask the AI about this section
(1) A cosmetic shall be deemed to be
misbranded:
(a) If its labeling is false or misleading in any particular;
(b) If its labeling or packaging fails to conform with the requirements of section 25-5-
419;
(c) If in package form, unless it bears a label containing the name and place of business
of the manufacturer, packer, or distributor and an accurate statement of the quantity of the
contents in terms of weight, measure, or numerical count, which statement shall be separately
and accurately stated in a uniform location upon the principal display panel of the label; but, as
to such terms of quantity required, reasonable variations shall be permitted and exemptions as to
small packages shall be established by regulation prescribed by the department or under the
federal act;
(d) If any word, statement, or other information required by or under authority of this
part 4 to appear on the label or labeling is not prominently placed thereon with such
conspicuousness (as compared with other words, statements, designs, or devices in the labeling)
and in such terms as to render it likely to be read and understood by the ordinary individual
under customary conditions of purchase and use;
(e) If its container is so made, formed, or filled as to be misleading;
(f) If it is a color additive, unless its packaging and labeling are in conformity with such
packaging and labeling requirements applicable to such color additive prescribed in regulations
under the provisions of the federal act. This paragraph (f) shall not apply to packages of color
additives which, with respect to their use for cosmetics, are marketed and intended for use only
in or on hair dyes as defined in section 25-5-416 (1)(a).
(2) A cosmetic which is, in accordance with the practice of the trade, to be processed,
labeled, or repacked in substantial quantities at an establishment other than the establishment
where it was originally processed or packed is exempted from the affirmative labeling
requirements of this part 4 while it is in transit in commerce from one establishment to the other
if such transit is made in good faith for such completion purposes only; but such cosmetic is
otherwise subject to all applicable provisions of this part 4.
