The Healthy Hair Act amends the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act to classify hair straightening or smoothing products containing formaldehyde or formaldehyde releasing substances as adulterated. It also mandates the Commissioner of Food and Drugs, in consultation with the Director of the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health, to conduct a study on the health impacts of exposure to these products, including on salon workers. The study will cover the association of such exposure with cancer, respiratory issues, and endocrine disruption.
