When It Comes to Electric Vehicle Emissions, Location Matters

FDA Delays Enforcement of New Sunscreen Labels When the U.S. FDA announced new rules for sunscreen labeling in June 2011, manufacturers were given a year to comply. In May 2012 the agency announced a six-month delay in enforcement to give manufacturers extra time to retool labels and complete broad-spectrum testing for their products. Under the new regulations, sunscreen products including cosmetics and moisturizers must back up labeling claims with testing to ensure they deliver the promised amount of protection. Only products with an SPF higher than 15 can claim they reduce risks of skin cancer and early aging, and labels may no longer use the vague and unsubstantiated terms “waterproof” and “sweatproof,” but instead must state how long products offer water-resistant protection.
