The FDA only regulates cosmetics after they are marketed. There is no required pre-market approval or testing. There is no follow up or monitoring to ensure that adequate safety testing has actually been done. The FDA does not have the authority to require manufacturers to keep data on the ingredients or report cosmetic related industry. It does not have the authority to require recalls.
Recalls are voluntary actions taken by the industry.
If the FDA wishes to remove a product from the market, it must prove in a court of law that the product is mislabeled, causes injury, or in some way violates the law. In general the FDA's actual authority over fragranced products is extremely limited. The authority it does have is rarely invoked. Because of the tremendous expenditure of resources involved in taking a case to court, the FDA generally relies on self-regulatory action taken by the industry. Further testing revealed that AETT was severely neurotoxic causing damage to the nerves similar to that, which occurs in Multiple Sclerosis.
