§ 25-5-417 — Misbranding of cosmetics

(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.
