Bubble Bath Warning Statements
Dr. Estrin reported on the FDA proposal to require a caution statement on labels of cosmetic bubble bath products which
was published in the Federal Register of January 28 1977 Comments are due on or before March 29 1977. Dr. Lapides an internationally known urologist from the University of Michigan has offered his services to refute FDA
A CTFA task force is being organized by Mr. Edward Kavanaugh and will have their first meeting in New York City on February 1977. They have a need for scientific input and the Pharma-
22
cology and Toxicology Committee was asked for liaison partici-
pation Dr. DeSalva Dr. Vinson and Mr. Bourne volunteered and
Dr. Wolcott recommended Dr. Coscarelli who will contact
Mr. McNerney will so inform Mr. Kavanaugh and obtain meeting
arrangement details for the volunteers

Color Additive Research Program
Chairman Gressel briefly reviewed the research requirements for the continued provisional listing of 32 color additives which
are referred to in the February 4 1977 Federal Register and which were discussed in detail with the FDA during a meeting
with the Industry Color Task Force on February 14 1977
The research program will entail lifetime feeding studies in mice and lifetime utero feeding studies in rats for 16 color additives In order to cope with this enormous under-
taking the Industry Color Task Force has asked the
Pharmacology and Toxicology Committee for assistance in monitor-
ing the program

Aerosol Safety
A. Propellants
1 Proposed MCA Technical Panel - Mr. McNerney reported that Dr. Daly was not able to attend but had given him a brief report via telephone
There has been little progress with establishing the alternate propellant toxicity research program See Minutes of January 20 1977 Meeting which has been proposed by DuPont for joint funding by suppliers through MCA Approximately half of the proposed
funding has been committed DuPont apparently intends
to carry out the program with whatever joint support
that can be mustered
Dr. Trochimowicz reported on a seminar that Dr. Bruce
Ames presented at Haskell Laboratories Representatives
of Allied Chemical and ICI participated and the details
of the Modified for vapors Ames Test on propellants
were discussed with Dr. Ames who said the data appeared
alright
Modified
Dr. Ames
Trochimowicz also Test as conducted
reported that in the
there was a plateau in
the number of revertants between 24 and 48 hours and a
marked increase at 72 hours indicating that an extraneous
toxic effect may be occurring at 72 hours and perhaps
the test should be limited to 48 hours The protocol
for the Modified Ames Test will be presented at the
forthcoming Environmental Mutagen Society Meeting to
determine its acceptability by the Society members
In response to the studies conducted at Frederick Cancer
Research Center which were noted during the January 20
meeting Dr. Trochimowicz reported that the investigator
had exposed the culture media for hours and then in-
troduced the bacteria thereby making the test and the negative results suspect
2 Hydrocarbon Toxicity Task Force - In the absencoe f Task
Force Chairman McDermott Mr. McNerney reported that several members of the task force met informally with Dr. Carrol Kerwin Toxicologist for Phillips Petroleum Company at the Toxicology Forum conference February 7-9

A tentative meeting tatives of Phillips upon Mr. McNerney
between task force and represenand possibly Aeropres was agreed will coordinate the meeting
In a subsequent conversation with Dr. Kerwin Mr. McNerney
learned that Phillips primarily concerned with
occupational exposures to hydrocarbons and would only be interested in sponsoring toxicity studies which
could be related to worker exposure not product ex-
posure by consumers
The committee discussed this
limited interest on the part of a supplier and agreed
that a close liaison between both groups would still be
mutually beneficial
Chairman Gressel reported that both regular 6 hour modified 72 hour Ames Tests on butane propane and
and
isobutane which Avon had sponsoreadt SRI were negative
He will distribute the report when issued He also will distribute the list of 130 chemicals which were studied
by ICI Ltd. in their battery of six short term tests for
carcinogenicity
3 Methylene - Chloride Jessie Norris was not able to attend
In her absence Tom Anthony of Dow Chemical U.S.A. pre-
methylene sented an update on toxicity studies on

chlor-
being

presentation included the following
a Dow's month inhalation studiys several weeks from
the 12 month sacrifice Animals are being exposed to 500 1500 and 3000 ppm 6 hours per day 5 days
per week_
b The National Coffee Association NCA is sponsoring long term feeding studies Methylene Chloride is the only chemical used for decaffination
c The NCI studies at Gulf South Research Institute
have been terminated and the histopathology evaluations are underway
d Dr. Shimken has conducted a pulmonary adenoma screen-
ing study in susceptible mice for NCI
are equivocal
The results
e Dow suspects the positive results that SRI has obtained with the Ames Test are due to a questionable sample that they have been using A pure sample was
shipped from Dow to SRI approximately two weeks ago

g Methylene chloride doesn't have sufficient vapor pressure to be used alone as a propellant However
many manufacturers are mixing it with hydrocarbon
and propellant systems e.g. 15-20 in hairsprays
10-21 in antiperspirants
B. Particulate Testing Program
In the absence of Task Force Chairman Hardy Mr. McNerney reported that the task force had met on January 14 1977
to review each member's suggested protocols and comments
and had developed the essential componants of a draft Dr. Hardy and Mr. McNerney met on February 10 1977 and prepared the initial draft which was distributed to the committee at this meeting A copy is being sent to each
member under separate cover
The committee discusstehde study of household products in
this program Dr. Mina informed the committee that the
CSMA Aerosol
ing on March
Divisions Scientific Committee would be meet1 1977 and could consider participating in
the program at that time Mr. McNerney supplied Dr. Mina
with sufficient numbers of copies of the draft protocol for
CSMA's considerations

Chairman Gressel informed the committee that he had discuss-
ed the possibility of studying talc in the particulate test-
ing program with Dr. Petterson of Johnson & Johnson
Dr.
Petterson believes we should further since based upon the
not consider testing talc any
extensive data on hand the
OTC Antiperspirant Panel has placed cosmetic talc into
:
Category I. He is going to send Dr. the submission that was presented to
be available for distribution

copy of and it will
Mr. McNerney and Dr. Wulf noted that there is still a need
by the task force for data on the concentration of active
ingredientisn hairsprays and antiperspirants to which
consumers are exposed during normal use conditions
These
appropriate data will be helpful to the task force in setting
dosage levels
C. Research Program Status Reports
1.
University of Washington Epidemiology Study -Mr McNerney reported that he had discussed the status of the final report with Carrie Hall via telephone on February 11
and was informed that
a It will take Ms. Hall approximately two weeks to pre-
pare and ship requested
the computer runs
that Dr.
Discher had

b She estimates that she will have between
3,000 of remaining funds after supplying with the computer runs
2,500 and
Dr. Discher
c Dr. Discher estimates it will cost 3,500 to set print 20 copies of a draft of a final report plus another 2,500 to prepare the polished final report Ms. Hall and Mr. McNerney agreed that considering the costs involved perhaps a typewritten very rough first draft could be submitted and CTFA could prepare and distribute copies to the committee for review
d
Ms. Hall requested the committee's recommendation on
whether the final report should include data on preg-
nancy history Apparently this section of the ques-
tionnaire was added by the investigator when the results of a study which indicated a greater incidence
of miscarriages among operating room personnel than
the general
Wolcott nor
public
any of
were published Neither Dr. the attendees could recall any
discussion or agreement with the investigator to
explore this area Dr. Wolcott will determine the
circumstances surrounding the acquisition of these
data and report on it at the next meeting
Dr. Estrin noted that he was concerned about the committee's
decisioonn the sputum cytology problem He is aware of Dr. Saccamanno's strong feeling concerning the poor quality
of the specimens but believes both the Schweide and Sacca-
manno interpretations should be presented in the report together with the investigator's evaluation Mr. McNerney
reported that following a phone discussion between Dr.
Discher and Dr. Lanman he had written a letter to Dr.
Discher informing him of the committee's deliberation on
this matter raising the possibility of a third party review

further and report back
Wolcott will

the problem
2 Medical College of Wisconsin Hydrocarbon Study - Mr. McNerney reported that the contractual status of this project had been determined as requested by committee at the January 20 1977 meeting and Mr. Merritt issued an appropriate letter See Attachment 2 The letter apparently was effective because Dr. Stewart presented Dr. Vos with three copies of the draft final report Acute and Repetitive Human Exposure
to Isobutane and Propaneoriginal Dr. Vos reported that Dr. Stewart
had suggested that the original task force review the draft and that the review expedited because he would like to publish it as soon as possible To the best of the attendees recollection the task force consisted of George Kitzke Paul Finkelstein and Jessie Norris Two of the copies were given to Dr. Willson and Mr. Anthony who would deliver them to Dr. Finkelstein and Ms. Norris respectively Mr. McNerney will make a copy of the third report and send it to Dr. Vos
for his and Dr. Kitzke's review

3 Lovelace Foundation Propelled Cosmetics Study Mr. McNerney
reported that the Particulate Testing Protocol Task Force was unable to visit Lovelace at the time of the Scottsdale
<_): meeting because it coincided with an FDA site visit
Another visit is being planned for March prior to the Society of Toxicology meeting Mr. McNerney will arrange
the visit and contact the task force members
4 Aviado Studies - Dr. Wulf reported on a visit that he Mr. Troy and Mr. McNerney had made to Dr. Aviado's laboratories at the University of Pennsylvania on January 25 1977 Dr. Aviado's contract with FDA for the study ofpropellants will terminate in July or August and no future work is
of planned He and his staff are conducting studies correlating
the chemical properties chemicals with their biological effects in vitro and vivo systems Dr. Aviado does not have the chronic inhalation testing capability that would be applicable to the needs of the particulate
testing program
VII Pharmacology and Toxicology
A. Good Laboratory Practices
Task Force Chairman John Willson reported that FDA was yester-
holding public hearings on this proposed regulation yesterday and today Since CTFA management wanted comments this
week the task force met after dinner last night and finished a rough draft The draft will be reviewed by the
CTFA Government Relations Committee at the Boca Raton meet-
ing Copies will be distributed to the Pharmacology and
.
Toxicology Committee
for their review and
and the Scientific Advisory Committee
comment The final comments will be
submitted to FDA on or before March 21 1977
B. Safety Testing Guidelines
In the absence of Task Force Chairman Mark Taylor Mr. McNerney reported that the January 10 1977 meeting of the
task force was cancelled because of snow and it has not
met since The committee discussed the original purpose test procedures for reference by OTC Panels and current
needs assistance to CTFA member companies in safety substantiation of their products It was agreed that the current need was pressing and a deadline of six weeks
should be set to have a draft in the hands of the committee
Chairman Gressel will so inform Mr. Taylor
C. Mutagenicity Task Force
Chairman Gressel reported that Drs McDermott Trochimo-
wicz and Gilman would represent the committee on the joint task force with members of the Microbiology Committee The Microbiology Committee has appointed four members one being from Clairol therefore Mr. Burnett will not represent the Pharmacology and Toxicology Committee Dr.
Gressel will contact Chairman Rodgers of the Microbiology
Committee and arrange the initial meeting

D. Toxicology Forum - Short Term Tests for Carcinogenicity
.
Mr. McNerney summarized the conference which was held at
Hunt Valley Maryland from February 7-9 1977
E. OTC Drug Review
1. Antiperspirant Panel - Dr. Baker reported that the
pertinent developments at the February 3-4 1977 Panel meeting included
a The original dose levels for the long term animal inhalation test should be changed from 10x 100x and 1000x to 1X use dose 10x and 100X
b There were no changes of products and categories
c The new CTFA nomenclature was adopted
d No final decision on the criteri foar extra strength
claims but probably will be tied to perception
e The Panel has cancelled its next meeting which was scheduled for March 31 - April 1 1977. They requested that the preliminary draft as changed be retyped and sent to all members for their review
Following this a meeting would be scheduled
2. Topical Analgesic etc. Panel
It was reported that several companies are participating in a collaborative study to determine company variability in testing sunscreen lotions
F. Cosmetic Ingredient Review Program
Chairman Gressel led a discussion of the Pharmacology and
Toxicology Committee's role in the CIR program In summary
the committee wishes to participate but would need more information before a role could be defined e.g. how many in-
gredients are to be reviewed concurrentl anyd what will be
the procedure to be followed after an ingredient is placed in Category III by the Panel
Dr. Estrin discussed procedures that he has proposed as an
industry response to the CIR program
These are currently
being reviewed by CTFA staff and legal counsel
G. Society of Toxicology Meeting
Dr. Trochimowicz The and his staff
submitted abstracts of two papers which
are presenting Dr. Vos submitted an
