Conclusion of the opinion:

The SCCS is of the opinion that, apart from its sensitising potential, hydroxyethoxy aminopyrazolopyridine HCl is safe for use in oxidative hair dye formulations with a concentration on-head of maximum 2.0%. Hydroxyethoxy aminopyrazolopyridine HCl is a strong sensitizer.
