Cosmetics exist to keep us looking healthy and attractive so when they have the opposite effect it is only natural that affected consumers consider the possibility of making a product liability claim.
We all use cosmetics, some of us without even realising we are doing so; in fact humans have been using cosmetics for thousands of years, as far back as 3,500 BC, in the times of Ancient Egypt.
Shampoos, conditioners, moisturising creams, soaps, deodorants, toothpastes, perfumes and aftershaves are just some of the cosmetic products used by the vast majority of the UK population.
Other products, which despite proving increasingly popular with men, are typically used by women consumers. These include skin creams, nail polishes, skin whiteners, hair colours, skin tightening creams, tooth whiteners and make-up.
The overwhelming majority of such products are safe and undergo rigorous testing to ensure this. However, some harmful products may slip through the net or be defective, contaminated, sold without proper instruction or sold without license. In such cases, affected consumers may be able to make a product liability claim and receive 100% compensation for their losses.
Harmful cosmetics may cause a variety of injuries, such as:
Increasingly, there is concern about the potential toxicity of some of the ingredients in certain cosmetic products. Parabens, surfactents, sodium lauryl sulphate and petroleum have all been linked to a variety of health problems.
There are various laws in place to protect consumers from potentially harmful cosmetics. Foremost among these are the Sale of Goods Act and the Consumer Protection Act.
