FDA spells out how it can order a cosmetic recall
Cassandra CampbellEditor
FDA issued final guidance on October 22 on the recall power MoCRA gave it: when it can order a cosmetic recall, the steps it will follow, and what it expects from companies that get an order. FDA says the final version has no major changes from the 2025 draft, and that it still prefers companies recall problem products on their own. It was published in the Federal Register on October 23.
Why it matters
Before MoCRA, FDA could only ask a company to pull a cosmetic. Now it can order it, which is one of the biggest changes the law made for shoppers.
The story so far
FDA issues its final guidance on mandatory cosmetic recalls.
The guidance is published in the Federal Register.
