While consumers may fear the rise in nanotechnology in products such as sunscreen, toothpaste, and shampoo, the FDA contends there are no safety issues.

Consumer groups and others say that the tiny particles are unpredictable and could be toxic.

Many products (cosmetics, foods, and dietary supplements) are not subject to FDA oversight. Producing them with nanotechnology adds another layer of concern.
