  • Mercury Makeup Minnesota is the first state in the nation to ban intentionally added mercury in cosmetics, giving it a tougher standard than the federal government. Retailers who knowingly sell mercury-containing cosmetics in Minnesota, could face fines of as much as $700. Penalties could reach $10,000 for manufacturers who fail to disclose mercury on product labels, according to the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency. Federal law allows eye products to contain up to 65 parts per million of mercury. Minnesota's cosmetics provision is part of a larger ban targeting better known sources of mercury, such as thermostats, barometers, industrial switches and medical devices. The law also covers toiletries, fragrances and over-the-counter drugs such as eye drops, nasal sprays, hemorrhoid treatments, and antiseptics. State pollution regulators said they don't know how many beauty products containing mercury are sold in Minnesota. The new law is intended as a warning to cosmetics manufacturers not to use mercury, said John Gilkeson, of the state Pollution Control Agency's toxics reduction program. Mercury can retard brain development in children and fetuses, who are most vulnerable to the metal's toxic effects, but it can also cause neurological symptoms in adults. Mercury in mascara?
