What is the FDA responsible for?

  1. Approving cosmetics used in salons

  2. Protecting the public health by assuring the safety, efficacy, and security of human and veterinary drugs, biological products, medical devices, our nation's food supply, cosmetics, and products that emit radiation

  3. Regulating workplace safety

  4. Testing salon equipment for safety

The correct answer is: Approving cosmetics used in salons

The other options are incorrect because Option A is not fully accurate as the FDA only approves certain color additives used in cosmetics, not all cosmetics used in salons. Option C is incorrect as the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) is responsible for regulating workplace safety. Option D is incorrect because the FDA does not specifically test salon equipment for safety, but may regulate certain devices used in salons as medical devices.
