Avon Products Inc. said it has permanently stopped using animals in its product safety tests, becoming one of the first major cosmetics makers to do so. Animal rights activists praised Avon and said they hope its decision will encourage other companies to halt animal testing as a way of measuring a product’s effectiveness and safety. The beauty products company said it will rely on alternative non-animal testing methods.
