The proposed bill amends the Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act to require warning labels on hair relaxers that contain specific harmful chemicals. It introduces a new section, 20-56-224, which outlines legislative findings regarding the health risks associated with certain chemicals in hair relaxers, including links to cancer, birth defects, reproductive system damage, organ toxicity, and endocrine disruption. The bill defines key terms such as "carcinogen," "hair relaxer," and "reproductive toxicant," establishing a framework for identifying harmful substances in these products.

Under the new regulations, any hair relaxer sold in Arkansas that contains a carcinogen or reproductive toxicant must display a clear warning label on its packaging. The label must be printed in at least twelve-point font and inform consumers of the presence of these harmful chemicals. Specific wording is mandated for the warnings, indicating whether the product contains a carcinogen, a reproductive toxicant, or both, thereby ensuring that consumers are adequately informed about the potential health risks associated with these hair care products.
