The FDA is currently working on a draft guidance for a new regulatory framework for the cosmetics industry. However, much to the dismay of cosmetic and personal care products manufacturers, the Agency announced last year, that it would not accept any additional industry commentary on this pending framework. Meanwhile, the FTC also alarmed the cosmetics and personal care industries when it settled with L’Oreal regarding unsubstantiated cosmetic advertising claims. The FDA and FTC’s actions have left the cosmetics and personal care manufacturers fearful of an increase in federal enforcement proceedings against the cosmetic industry in the near future.


The cosmetics and personal care industries also face many additional uphill battles at the state level. In California, Proposition 65 remains a difficult hurdle for all cosmetic manufacturers seeking to do business in the state. While elsewhere, companies are hit with bans on certain ingredients, consumer class actions, and various green chemistry initiatives.


To help you make sense of these developments and develop practical strategies to help your company succeed in this tumultuous environment, American Conference Institute is pleased to present its 2nd Annual Legal, Regulatory, and Compliance Forum on Cosmetics. This is the only event where industry insiders will meet to discuss the legal and regulatory policies specifically impacting cosmetic manufacturers. A prestigious faculty comprised of over twenty leading legal and regulatory professionals will provide you with the critical information.


Cheryl Falvey is speaking at this event.  Her topic is "Retailers as Regulators: Working with Retailers to Create Sustainable Cosmetics Products."

Has the Buss Stopped? Recoupment Today

Has the Buss Stopped? Recoupment Today: In 1997, the California Supreme Court decided Buss v. Superior Court. In Buss, the court concluded that a liability insurer that defended a mixed action could seek reimbursement from the insured for the defense costs associated with the claims that were not even potentially covered. Since then, numerous courts have held that insurers are entitled to recoup their defense costs associated with uncovered claims or causes of action. On the other hand, a significant number of courts have rejected insurers’ right to recoupment, at least in the absence of a policy provision granting the insurer that right. Some commentators have even suggested that the current judicial trend might be away from permitting insurers to recoup their defense costs. Is that correct? Has the Buss stopped? This panel of coverage experts will analyze insurers’ claimed right to recoupment today, and offer their perspectives on what the law on recoupment should perhaps be and might be in the future.
