The FDA's proposed rule would require manufacturers test samples of talc-containing cosmetic products for asbestos using methods like polarized light microscopy, ensuring public safety.
Linda Katz, a doctor at the FDA, affirmed that the proposed testing techniques are essential for detecting asbestos in talc products to safeguard consumers.
