China NMPA Inspection - Wuhan Kaina Cosmetics Co., Ltd. - September 29, 2017

Wuhan Kaina Cosmetics Co., Ltd. underwent an unannounced inspection on September 13, 2017, by the State Food and Drug Administration, revealing multiple compliance deficiencies under the "Key Points for Cosmetics Production License Inspection" framework. Significant issues included the ineffective implementation of quality and production management systems, characterized by printed document signatures lacking controlled stamps. The company demonstrated a critical failure in traceability management, with products untraceable throughout the production process and an absence of records for a specific facial mask product. The production workshop exhibited poor maintenance, with damaged infrastructure and rusted pipes. Equipment status labels for cleaning and disinfection were incomplete, and several instruments were found to be uncalibrated. Discrepancies were noted in product labeling for a shampoo product compared to its registration. Other violations encompassed poorly managed product sample retention, improper storage of hazardous materials in the sample room, and a high risk of cross-contamination due to the production of diverse non-cosmetic items on the same lines without proper risk management. The Hubei Provincial Food and Drug Administration was tasked with ordering Wuhan Kaina Cosmetics Co., Ltd. to rectify these deficiencies promptly and report compliance to the State Administration for Market Regulation.
