Anvisa canceled, this Wednesday (20), more than 500 registrations of products for straightening or curling hair. The determination was made based on an article that determines the cancellation of registration for companies that do not make the labeling adjustments provided for in the resolution.
With cancellation, the manufacture or sale of products on the list constitutes a health infraction, subjecting the offender to the penalties provided for in Law 6,437/1977. The list with all canceled products is on government portal.
