Product Warning
Please be advised that the Massachusetts Board of Cosmetology, as of 6/22/99,
considers the use of Methyl Methacrylate Monomers (MMA) in the manicuring
industry to be unsafe and therefore prohibited. These products are commonly
referred to as "dental acrylics" or "porcelain nails". The
FDA has classified MMA as a "poisonous and deleterious substance". MMA
complaints have included skin allergies, permanent loss of the nail plate,
permanent loss of sensation in the fingertips, and, after prolonged usage,
permanent damage to the respiratory system.
Any manicurist knowingly using products containing MMA will face disciplinary
action. If you have any questions regarding this notice please contact the Board
at 617-727-3067.
