Modernization of Cosmetics Regulation Act of 2022 (MoCRA)

FDA, 6 min read

This lesson is a guide published by FDA.

What you'll get

FDA's overview of the 2022 law that gave it new power over cosmetics, including access to records and mandatory recalls, and new duties for makers: reporting serious adverse events within 15 business days, registering facilities, listing products and keeping safety records. The page says certain small businesses are exempt from registration, listing and manufacturing-practice rules, so read it alongside the registration guidance before you decide what applies to you.

Do this week

Write a short plan for what you would do if a customer reported a serious reaction: who takes the report, where you keep the label and the complaint, and who decides whether it must go to FDA within 15 business days.
