China NMPA Inspection - Yiyang New District Baifengtang Cosmetics Store - June 15, 2021

The Jiangxi Provincial Drug Administration, operating under the broader framework of China's National Medical Products Administration (NMPA), announced the findings of supervision and inspection activities involving ten cosmetics-related enterprises. Conducted primarily during March and April 2021, with one entry from April 2020, these inspections aimed to ensure companies uphold their primary responsibility for product quality and safety within the cosmetics sector. Notable companies inspected include Jiangxi Qinglong Group Hotel Co., Ltd. and Shangrao Xinghou Legend Beidouxing Beauty Co., Ltd., among others. The inspections revealed various deficiencies across most enterprises, with individual companies cited for between three and eight issues. For instance, Nanchang Donghu Beauty and Hairdressing Supplies Store was noted for eight defects, while several others had six or fewer. One entity, Yiyang New District Baifengtang Cosmetics Store, had already cancelled its business license prior to inspection. In response to these findings, the Jiangxi Provincial Drug Administration directed relevant municipal market supervision bureaus—such as those in Yichun, Shangrao, Nanchang, and Xinyu—to mandate that the non-compliant companies rectify their identified deficiencies within a specified timeframe. Furthermore, these local bureaus are required to take appropriate legal action and submit a detailed report on the rectification and handling measures to the provincial administration within two months. This initiative underscores the administration's commitment to robust oversight in the cosmetics industry.
