Case C‑321/14

Colena AG

v

Karnevalservice Bastian GmbH

(Request for a preliminary ruling from the Landgericht Krefeld)

‛Reference for a preliminary ruling — Approximation of laws — Cosmetic products — Consumer protection — Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009 — Scope — Non-corrective colour contact lenses featuring designs — Statement on the outer packaging describing the product in question as a cosmetic product — Consumer protection’

Summary — Judgment of the Court (Seventh Chamber), 3 September 2015

Approximation of laws — Cosmetic products — Regulation No 1223/2009 — Scope — Non-corrective colour contact lenses featuring designs — Not included

(European Parliament and Council Regulation No 1223/2009)

Regulation No 1223/2009 on cosmetic products must be interpreted as meaning that non-corrective colour contact lenses featuring designs do not fall within the scope of that regulation, notwithstanding the fact that their outer packaging bears the statement ‘cosmetic eye accessory, subject to the EU Cosmetics Directive’.
