pursuant to Section 20.165, Florida Statute, and Chapters 455 and 477, Florida Statutes, and the
rules promulgated thereto.
2. At all times material hereto, Respondent Files & Smiles was licensed as a
Cosmetology Salon in the State of Florida, having been issued license CE 9965298. At all times

4. On or about July 26, 2006, Petitioner’s inspector John Miranda conducted an
inspection of Respondent salon.
5. During the inspection, Petitioner’s inspector observed that Respondent was in
possession of a container of Angel’s Nail Fluid, which had been previously determined by
Severn Trent Laboratories to contain Methyl Methacrylate (MMA) as an ingredient. A sample
of the product was confiscated for testing.
6. Section 477.0265(1)(h), Florida Statutes, states in pertinent part that it is unlawful
to “[iJn the practice of cosmetology, use or possess a cosmetic product containing a liquid nail
monomer containing any trace of methyl methacrylate (MMA).”
7. Section 477.029(1)(i), Florida Statutes, provides in pertinent part that “[i]t is
unlawful for any person to: violate or refuse to comply with any provision of [Chapter 477] or
chapter 455 or a rule or final order of the board or the department.”
8. Based on the foregoing, Respondent violated Section 477.029(1)(i), Florida
Statutes, by being in possession of MMA, and is thereby subject to discipline pursuant to
Sections 477.029(1)(h) and (2), Florida Statutes.
WHEREFORE, Petitioner respectfully requests the Board of Cosmetology enter a Final
Order imposing one or more of the following penalties: imposition of an administrative fine,
revocation or suspension of Respondent’s license, issuance of a reprimand, placement of the
