FDA: Brazilian Blowout Hair Straightener Is Dangerous
Agency Warns That Product Has Too Much Formaldehyde

Sept. 7, 2011 -- The FDA has warned the Brazilian Blowout hair care company that its hair straightening products contain "dangerously high levels" of formaldehyde. It ordered the firm to reduce levels of the liquid chemical or face removal of the items from the marketplace.

The FDA says in a news release that Brazilian Blowout products are "adulterated" and misbranded, containing misleading labels and advertising that falsely claim the products are formaldehyde-free.

The FDA told the company it has until Sept. 12 to comply with the agency's directive.

It described Brazilian Blowout as a "notorious hair straightening products company" and said it found levels of the liquid form of formaldehyde ranging from 8.7% to 10.4%.

The U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration requires an occupational hazard alert at levels higher than 0.1%, the FDA says.

Mike Brady, chief executive officer of the Los Angeles-based company, tells WebMD that its products contain "a separate substance from formaldehyde" and are safe. He says "the hair smoothing category is extremely popular" around the country and that the company's products meet OSHA standards and can still be used.

But the FDA in its statement disagrees that the company's products are safe or that anything other than formaldehyde is used.

"Formaldehyde, commonly found in a number of 'Brazilian style' keratin-based hair straighteners, is extremely dangerous and a known carcinogen," the FDA says.

It says salon workers and consumers have reported a number of injuries to the FDA due to use of the products, including eye and nervous system disorders, respiratory tract problems, chest pain, vomiting, and rash.

Brazilian Blowout Craze: Is It Safe?

Celebrities are often the catalyst for starting new hairstyle trends. And when Hollywood’s “beautiful people” share their personal secrets, women everywhere flock to the salons hoping to get that same great look.

Take the “Brazilian blowout” for example. The extremely popular hair straightening treatment – embraced by Hollywood elites like Nicole Kidman, Halle Barry and Nicole Richie – relaxes and transforms curly, wavy and frizzy hair into soft, smooth, silky tresses.

With a price tag of $200 to $500 per treatment, the Brazilian Blowout has been described as “life-changing” for women who have struggled their entire lives with hard-to-manage hair. The treatment – which can last for several months – has become so mainstream that even pre-teens are pressuring their moms for the pricey trip to the salon…and are often getting it.
The problem with the Brazilian Blowout is that the product contains formaldehyde

, which has been classified as a known human carcinogen (cancer-causing substance) by the International Agency for Research on Cancer and as a human carcinogen by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, in amounts that exceeds FDA guidelines

These concerns intensified after stylists at an Oregon salon reported they were experiencing breathing problems, respiratory coughs, swollen eyes and spontaneous nose bleeds prompting an investigation by the Oregon Health & Science University (OHSU).

Last September, OHSU issued a report and public alerts

after finding “formulations of Brazilian Blowout contained between 4.85 percent and 10.6 percent formaldehyde.”

The agency also found more than 0.1 percent of formaldehyde

present in samples labeled “formaldehyde free.”

A month later Health Canada

released their own analysis, which found formulations of Brazilian blowout contained “unacceptable levels – 12 percent - of formaldehyde and recommended “stylists who use Brazilian Blowout treatments should immediately stop using the affected product.”

A month later Health Canada

insist their product is “safe” and are suing Oregon OSHA over what they claim are “false and misleading test results.”

Now you would think the Food and Drug Administration – the agency responsible for cosmetic safety – would be taking aggressive action on this product. Unfortunately there are currently no limitations on the amount of formaldehyde that can be used in personal care products here in the U.S.

And as it does with so many products where safety concerns have prompted other countries to take immediate action, our FDA continues to drag its feet stating the agency “will continue to monitor this problem and will report on any new developments.”

Last week, Women’s Voices for the Earth, the Campaign for Safe Cosmetics and the National Healthy Salon Alliance released a statement in reaction to the cosmetic industry’s own safety review board opinion that it cannot assure the public that “formaldehyde/methylene glycol is safe in cosmetic products.”

Some U.S. salons have already stopped using Brazilian Blowout because of the health concerns. But many women continue to want the look they get from the product and aren't ready to give it up in spite of the risks.

Listen ladies: The gas-like masks offered to customers and worn by your stylists should be a big tip-off that something about this product is probably not good for you and certainly not good for children.

Although you may be thrilled with the results, the potential health risks associated with Brazilian Blowout is simply not worth the big price tag – your health.
