Executive Summary
Consumer Product Safety Commission developing plan to collect safety data on cosmetics containing mineral oil to determine whether child-resistant packaging requirements for such products should be included in a final regulation on hydrocarbons. A soon-to-be-published proposed rule, which will recommend child-resistant packaging for mineral oil-containing cosmetics, may be amended later depending on the results of the safety assessment. A strategy proposal for data collection will be presented to the CPSC commissioners in four weeks. CPSC already has decided to exempt eye makeup remover pads from the scope of the proposed rule (1"The Rose Sheet" Sept. 6, p. 9)
