TO AMEND THE FOOD, DRUG, AND COSMETIC ACT; AND TO REQUIRE WARNING LABELS FOR HAIR RELAXERS THAT CONTAIN CERTAIN CHEMICALS.

SB 632, now Act 964, amends Arkansas's Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act to require warning labels on certain hair relaxers sold in the state. The bill mandates that hair relaxers containing chemicals identified as carcinogens or reproductive toxicants by recognized health organizations must display a clear, conspicuous warning label. This label, printed in a minimum twelve-point font, will notify consumers that the product contains chemicals known to cause cancer, birth defects, or other reproductive harm. This act directly affects consumers purchasing hair relaxers and businesses selling these products in Arkansas.
