Article 10 of the Saudi Cosmetics Law

After Article 9 made the lister responsible for the product's safety, this article sets out its practical obligations toward the Saudi Food and Drug Authority, which are:

1. Reporting incidents: It notifies the Authority if harm caused by the product occurs, if an error occurs in its manufacture, or when it is recalled in any country, so this is not limited to what happens inside the Kingdom.
2. Product information file: It keeps it and provides it to the Authority on request.
3. Reporting any modification made to the cosmetic product.
4. Documenting wholesale sales of the product.
5. Reporting any misuse of the product.

The article does not state the deadline for reporting, its form, or the content of the information file, as the text does not mention these details. The apparent purpose of these obligations is to enable the Authority to follow the product after it is placed on the market and to intervene when necessary.

Accordingly, if the producing company recalls a product in another country, the lister in the Kingdom must notify the Authority. Anyone who wants to set up an internal system to ensure these obligations are met can consult a lawyer specializing in commercial law and food and drug law.
