The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) announced the launch of a new Public Dashboard for the Cosmetic Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS), an interactive tool that allows users to review reported data on adverse events associated with the use of cosmetics. This is a milestone in the agency’s modernization and transparency strategy, offering daily updates with real-time notifications.
The reports cover categories such as moisturizers, shampoos, conditioners, and hair colorants, among others. The platform allows users to search by product name, type of reaction, date, severity level, or type of report, offering advanced filters to precisely locate specific information.
The FDA clarifies that the reports included have not been verified by the agency, and their publication does not imply confirmed causality between the product and the adverse event. Furthermore, FAERS data are not an indicator of overall product safety. For more details, the FDA provides a FAQ.
