New York has become the 10th state to prohibit the sale of cosmetics tested on animals after Governor Kathy Hochul signed into law the New York Cruelty Free Cosmetics Act. New York joins California, Nevada, Illinois, Hawaii, Maryland, Maine, New Jersey, Virginia, and Louisiana. While the sale of cosmetics tested on animals is prohibited in the European Union and many other states around the world since many years, there is currently no federal legislation on this issue in the USA.
