A cosmetic shall be deemed to be adulterated:

(1)If it bears or contains any poisonous or deleterious substance which may render it

injurious to users under the conditions of use prescribed in the labeling or

advertisement thereof, or under such conditions of use as are customary or usual;

provided that this provision shall not apply to coal-tar hair dye, the label of which

bears the following legend conspicuously displayed thereon: "Caution -- This

product contains ingredients which may cause skin irritation on certain individuals

and a preliminary test according to accompanying directions should first be made.

This product must not be used for dyeing the eyelashes or eyebrows; to do so may

cause blindness," and the labeling of which bears adequate directions for such

preliminary testing. For the purpose of this subsection and subsection

(5)of this

section, the term "hair dye" shall not include eyelash dyes or eyebrow dyes;

(2)If it consists in whole or in part of any filthy, putrid or decomposed substance;

(3)If it has been produced, prepared, packed, or held under insanitary conditions

whereby it may have become contaminated with filth, or whereby it may have been

rendered injurious to health;

(4)If its container is composed, in whole or in part, of any poisonous or deleterious

substance which may render the contents injurious to health;

(5)If it is not a hair dye and it bears or contains a coal-tar color other than one from a

batch which has been certified under authority of the federal act.
