Contact Allergy to Methacrylate Containing Nail Products: Lack of Impact of <scp>EU</scp> Legislation. An Audit on Behalf of the European Environmental Contact Dermatitis Research Group (<scp>EECDRG</scp>)
EU legislation appears not to have had the intended impact on controlling allergic contact dermatitis from methacrylates in nail cosmetics. There is an urgent need to revisit Scientific Committee on Consumer Safety (SCCS) opinion to reconsider exposure to methacrylates and cross-reactions between them. A strategy needs to be developed and implemented to better control the current outbreak.
