flag The FDA delays banning cancer-linked formaldehyde in hair straighteners past 2025 with no rule yet issued.

flag The U.S. FDA has missed its latest deadline to propose a ban on formaldehyde and formaldehyde-releasing chemicals in hair-straightening products, pushing the action date to December 31, 2025, with no formal rule published yet. flag The repeated delays—following prior extensions from 2023 to 2025—have drawn criticism from advocates and scientists who warn of health risks including cancer, respiratory issues, and reproductive harm, particularly for Black women and salon workers. flag Despite the FDA calling the rule a priority, no binding deadlines exist for compliance, and the process remains stalled.
