Proposed U.S. Animal-Test Ban Not A Game Changer For Big Firms - NGO

摘要

Cruelty Free International is confident that the EU's ban on cosmetic animal testing has eliminated the bulk of the practice, so the impact of a proposed U.S. ban under the Humane Cosmetics Act would be "quite small." On the other hand, the European ban's scope may not be as far-reaching as previously understood, and the Personal Care Products Council recently acknowledged that companies continue to consider animal testing for novel ingredients when alternative methods are not available to assess their safety.
